Alessandro Nivola, Jesse Eisenberg, and Imogen Poots in La mejor defensa es un ataque (2019)

After he's attacked on the street at night by a roving motorcycle gang, timid bookkeeper Casey (Jesse Eisenberg) joins a neighborhood karate studio to learn how to protect himself. Under the watchful eye of a charismatic instructor, Sensei (Alessandro Nivola), and hardcore brown belt Anna (Imogen Poots), Casey gains a newfound sense of confidence for the first time in his life. But when he attends Sensei's mysterious night classes, he discovers a sinister world of fraternity, brutality and hyper-masculinity, presenting a journey that places him squarely in the sights of his enigmatic new mentor.

Curiosidades
Writer and director Riley Stearns trains and teaches Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Pifias
This post was political and added nothing to the movie experience. Not sure how it made it past review.

Citas
Sensei: [regarding the belt Casey gave him] Not only does it represent my black belt in karate but it also helps keep my pants up.

Créditos adicionales
At the beginning of the end credits, the show's "title logo" is shown in a "black metal" font, mirroring the front cover of the CD Casey buys (albeit in yellow).

A lot darker than I expected

This film tells the story of a man who learns karate for self defense.

The film starts off quite innocent, but soon descends into morbid darkness which I have not expected. It is so dark that I worry it might give karate a bad name! It is disturbing, but engaging as well.
