"Dark humor... took several scenes in an unexpected direction. Interesting and amusing. Good film."
Chad Cooper
"I've never seen anything like this before, the only way to describe it would be Fight Club that is self aware. I highly recommend."
Mars
"This movie was almost like Napoleon Dynamite centering around karate... But then things get very intense. It's definitely not like anything else I've ever seen."

"Hilarious film that mocks the modern day perception of masculinity"
Zach Gallegos
"Watch this and then watch John Wick. It’s actually an incredible pairing. Must be in that order though. It enhances both films. "
