Sam Rockwell stars in a twisted comedy as Victor Mancini, a sex-addicted med school dropout who routinely goes to restaurants and chokes on food to con his saviors into giving him cash. Between that and his job as a colonial re-enactor, Victor ekes out just enough money to keep his mother (Anjelica Huston) in a good nursing facility. Victor seems content with his lot in life until events place him in the unlikely role of savior. The only problem is how does he save other people when Victor doesn't feel he's not worth saving. From the dark mind of Chuck Palahniuk (author of Fight Club), Choke is a crude but hysterical movie. Sam Rockwell seems to have a knack for playing an unlikable protagonist that the viewer can't help but end up following. This one is definitely worth a rental.
Grade: B 92 Minutes Rated R
