Riley Stearn’s (Faults) new movie, "The Art of Self Defense," is part "The Karate Kid", part "Fight Club" and a big heaping spoonful of toxic masculinity served in Hungry-Man sized portions and best eaten with a Swiss Army knife. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Casey Davies, a nebbish accountant who openly admits to listening to adult contemporary music, is ridiculed by his alpha male coworkers and due to his gender-neutral name is sometimes mistaken for a woman. Unable to relate to the hypermasculinty that pervades his world, Casey retreats to the safety of his home where partakes in self pleasure to photocopied pictures of naked women and the nonjudgmental company of his pet Dachshund.
