Title: Choke (2008)Starring: Sam Rockwell, Brad William Henke, Anjelica Huston
Directed By: Clark Gregg
For a movie based on a Chuck Palahniuk novel about a sex addict, this actually has a lot of heart. I'm sure it has something to do with Sam Rockwell's performance, or maybe it's Clark Gregg's storytelling, or maybe it's just the incredibly likable cast (including Kelly Macdonald, Anjelica Huston and the scene-stealing Brad William Henke). I think it's all of the above, but that could just be me.
It's by no means the first film of its kind, but it is a pretty good example of satire. That alone is worth giving it a look, seeing as how most attempts fail (Men Who Stare At Goats) or succeed at just being "ok". Recommended.
Score: 7.5/10
