While the big-budget action blockbusters duke it out for the box office bucks at the multiplex a very different kind of action flick is popping up at the “art house” and “indie” cinemas. As the title suggests, there are a good number of physical altercations, but it mixes those elements with a true quirky sensibility. Plus it’s a comedy, but a much, much darker, twisted one than say last week’s Stuber. And it has a lot of things to say (often in a satiric tone) about the concepts of masculinity (emphasis on confidence and focus). It all about one average guy’s attempts to learn and hopefully master The Art Of Self Defense.
The man in question is quiet, “mild-mannered”, socially awkward office drone (a high-ranking accountant) Casey (Jesse Eisenberg). When he returns to his apartment after a soul-draining humiliating workday, his beloved dachshund demands to be fed.
