Review of Choke (2008) by Zak S — 22 Jun 2009
Choke is not a good film. Sure, it gets a couple good laughs, but if you're looking for a good story, look elsewhere. If it weren't for Sam Rockwell, I'd be giving this film 1.5 stars at best. It's clunky, it's stagnant, and it doesn't do Palahniuk's novel justice.
Don't come into this film expecting the next Fight Club, because that's not what you'll get. Choke is certainly entertaining with a few laugh-out-loud scenes, but it lacks Palahniuk's disturbing quirkiness that makes his novels so enjoyable. Choke failed to share the tone of the novel as it tries to be something it was never supposed to be, and it shows.
