Review of Choke (2008)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 20 Nov 2008

Enjoyable, blackly comic drama with a great script and a terrific central performance by Sam Rockwell…

Review of Choke (2008)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 07 Nov 2008

There are plenty of interesting and unusual elements in this very strange film, but in the end it seems that whatever special spirit was present…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Ben Mankiewicz (74) for At the Movies (175) on 05 Nov 2008

I found it choppy, I found it dull, I found it disinteresting…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Jake Wilson (570) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 31 Oct 2008

Rockwell's performance is so artificial it's as if we're invited to look past all the tics to the real human being who might be lurking beneath…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Margaret Pomeranz (380) for At the Movies (Australia) (716) on 31 Oct 2008

Although the central performances are solid, Clark Gregg, in his first film as director has taken on a wildly ambitious story to tell, and…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for Philadelphia Weekly (778) on 28 Oct 2008

Cheerfully offensive and well acted, but visually pedestrian. We needed to share the character's mania, not just passively observe it…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Jean Lowerison (512) for San Diego Metropolitan (486) on 17 Oct 2008

Rockwell and Henke are spectacular as the sex-addicted protagonists, and the other cast members are up to the task as well…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Michael Dance (46) for The Cinema Source (46) on 11 Oct 2008

It's a mishmash of a lot of cool scenes that don't really build, but those individual scenes are usually terrific…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Nick Rogers (786) for Suite101.com (114) on 08 Oct 2008

Too smart-alecky to sell the redemptive shift Clark Gregg has written into the story…

Review of Choke (2008)

By David Noh (869) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 07 Oct 2008

Sam Rockwell, with his eternally raffish, furtive quality, is perfectly cast as Victor Mancini, the unregenerate sex addict in Clark Gregg's Choke…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Austin Kennedy (419) for Sin Magazine (286) on 05 Oct 2008

CHOKE will probably find a following with 19 year old college kids who haven't seen enough good movies to know better, but this felt like a…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Adam Tobias (167) for Watertown Daily Times (163) on 02 Oct 2008

The stuff that is missing from the book would have certainly made the film's story abundantly stronger, but there is enough there to satisfy…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 01 Oct 2008

It wants to be sleazy, or at least naughty; it's only tired. And it's just too slight to really say much more for or against it…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 01 Oct 2008

Choke, adapted by actor Clark Gregg in his directorial debut, lacks Fincher's slickly overwrought style but gets Palahniuk's silly plot turns…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Hollywood.com (1,014) on 30 Sep 2008

Choke is a relatively small film designed for quirky tastes and on that level and for Rockwell's manic performance, it's worth a look…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Ken Hanke (2,234) for Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) (2,247) on 29 Sep 2008

Leaves most raunchy comedy contenders in the dust of sophomoric dirty mindedness…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 29 Sep 2008

Bobs around on a tide of misanthropy, occasionally surprising us with small moments of brilliance…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 29 Sep 2008

Sex, choking, the Messiah ... It doesn't have the impact you'd think with those things as the key subjects…

Review of Choke (2008)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Sep 2008

Rockwell has an off-center charm and, as his gorgon mother, Anjelica Huston is more imposing than this movie deserves…

Review of Choke (2008)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 28 Sep 2008

It's faithful to a fault; like its source, it's overstuffed with ideas and incidents and colorful and often distasteful digressions…
