Movie Reviews of Choke

Movie Review: I Can't wait until Feb.17
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw Choke the night it came out. It was a tough sell with my friends seeing as the week before I had made the fatal error of convincing everyone to see Death Race. The good news is that Choke got me out of bad taste movie jail. And the bad news, well there wasn't any. Choke rocked. Sam Rockwell should get an academy award for his stellar performance. Angelica Houston's performance is nothing less than top notch. Tackling the topic of sex addiction is a fresh idea. There seems to be a shortage of those in Hollywood. This one of those movies that helps me draw a line in the sand. Either you're with me on Choke, or you just don't get it.

Summary of Choke

CHOKE - DVD Movie

Not many movies about addiction and terminal illness can end up comedies, but Choke pulls it off. Protagonist Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a disgruntled, unrepentant sex addict, works at a cheesy colonial theme park, while his dying, addled mother Ida (Anjelica Huston) thinks he's her lawyer instead of her son. Ida's doctor Paige (Kelly Macdonald, Trainspotting, No County for Old Men) says the only way Victor can save his mother is to impregnate Paige for a controversial stem-cell treatment--and according to his mother's diary, Victor himself is the result of a questioable fertility experiment with a particularly intimate holy relic...by now you may have recognized the darkly satirical hand of author Chuck Palahniuk, whose prickly comic novels (Snuff, Invisible Monsters, Lullaby) smash taboos with brutal glee. Choke doesn't achieve the broad cultural scope or cinematic spectacle of Fight Club, but fans will find plenty to enjoy--consider Choke a more intimate examination of Palahniukian themes. Rockwell, star of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Matchstick Men, always seems on the brink of true stardom; here he gives another freewheeling but emotionally rich performance that will add to his offbeat but compelling repertoire. The strong supporting cast, including Joel Grey, Brad William Henke (Me and You and Everyone We Know), Bijou Phillips (Hostel: Part II), and screenwriter/director Clark Gregg (The Adventures of Sebastian Cole, Spartan), flesh out Palahniuk's caustic yet funny world. --Bret Fetzer
