Literally the greatest movie I've ever watched, Jesse Eisenberg has another amazing performance, a series of dark events and complex humor that actually requires some thought so if you don't have many brain cells wouldn't recommended you watch it. The appearance of simplicity but depth of the small detail is what makes the writing of this movie one of a kind. If you cab't understand what makes this movie categorize as a comedy then you should go back to your Adam Sandler marathon there buddy.

I don't understand why it is a "comedy". I never laughed or smiled or considered it clever. A mild slightly dark satire of sorts at first then nonsensical and then needlessly and pointlessly violent. I was surprised that it held my attention even though it was rather slow moving. The violence of the film and of the ending left me disgusted and I was sorry I rented it. Overall the film made little or no sense.

It's satire. The deadpan humor works extremely well, and if you're a martial artist, it becomes all the funnier for it. that said, it's a pretty dark film, so if you're looking for a feel-good, laugh out loud film, definitely look elsewhere.
