Review of Choke (2008) by Rod S — 21 May 2011

Unlike the masterful 'Fight Club', this Chuck Palahniuk adaptation fails to be a wholly memorable or rewarding experience. The blackly comic scenarios may be faithful to the source material, but don't quite hang together as a film, making it come off quite disjointed and aimless.

Sam Rockwell is hard to fault in any role and is suitably sublime in this sleazy role. Clark Gregg has made a valiant effort and adapting difficult material for his debut and should be admired for making and above average film despite it's many flaws.
