I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Awesome Movie

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I don't even know where to begin... The entire movie screams "Art Student final project" - right down to the boom mic making several guest appearances. The entire tone of the book was lost from the opening scene to the credits...The novel itself highlights several key scenes between the protagonist and his "best friend"... There are subtle, yet key scenes that the Director/Screenplay writer completely ignored between the two that culminated into a sincere and ironic ending in the book, yet were suspiciously absent from the film. Clark Gregg refused to focus on the human aspect of almost every single character, instead revealing himself to be the immature 15-year old in a 50-year old man's body that he is: All he focused on was the sex addiction of the protagonist, Victor. All choking scenes were slap-stick in the film, again, the tone of the book completely ignored...The colonial village was an afterthought, yet another tool to portray the sex-addiction and not to relate the friendship between Victor and Denny. Denny consistently ends up in shackles for breaking character, and Victor always approaches him with a handkerchief, simply saying "Dude, blow" so Denny can clear the dripping mucous from his face. Why is this important? The entire climax is built around this one line in the book. After being stoned to near-death, and the anal-bead being dis-lodged from his anus, victor lies in a puddle of his own excrement, presumably left for dead... Until Denny approaches him with a handkerchief and simply holds it to his face and says: "Dude, blow". Showing that at the end of the day, life goes on and your true friends stand by your side no matter how terrible of a person you are.I could go on but anyone who has good reading comprehension can understand why this film completely missed the mark.

Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) is a sex addict trying to recover and failing. He's in a group with Nico (Paz de la Huerta) and best friend Denny (Brad William Henke). He works at a colonial theme park with Denny, arrogant Lord High Charlie (Clark Gregg), and sexy Ursula the milkmaid (Bijou Phillips). He pretends to choke on food to scam his saviors. His grifter mother Ida (Anjelica Huston) is in long term care with Paige Marshall (Kelly Macdonald) as her new doctor. Beth (Gillian Jacobs) is stripper Cherry Daiquiri. Marshall suggests an illegal treatment which requires an unusual donation from Victor.This is based on Chuck Palahniuk's book who also wrote Fight Club. Clark Gregg adapted it and is the director. I really love Rockwell and his weird manic energy. The story is a little weird and takes some strange turns. It does lose me after a couple of turns. It's weird but it doesn't get to be wacky fun. I don't think Clark Gregg has a hold of a compelling consistent tone.

This eponymous adaptation of a Chuck Palahniuk novel goes through the right motions, but loses track of its charm somewhere in the translation. The filmmakers probably loathe any comparisons to Fight Club, Palahniuk's most famous property, but with a similarly sarcastic tone, grim protagonist and writhing, unpredictable plot, it's difficult not to tie the two together in some meaningful ways. Choke barely holds a candle to its daunting big brother, sadly; it captures none of the character or idealism that made Tyler Durden's darker hues so palatable, and the dialog - though witty in a few spots - is largely lacking in conviction and flavor. Sam Rockwell's turn as Victor, a sex-addicted scam artist in the midst of a midlife crisis, is uncharacteristically dull and bland. It's tough to root for, or even identify with, such a despicable character, even as his journey reveals the details of why he is this way. The storyline, explained via a series of long-winded, single-minded monologues, branches off in so many directions, it's often difficult to determine what's the primary message and what's just window dressing. Over- ambitious at best, it's a mess of competing distractions with few resolutions and a cast of shuffling, murmuring archetypes. A disappointment.

This film is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, who also wrote the rather excellent Fight Club (1999). Combine that with a cast that includes Anjelica Huston and Sam Rockwell and I hope we're onto a winner! So it was with fingers crossed and very little knowledge of the plot, I sat down to watch.Victor Mancini is a sex addict; he goes to group sessions to help with his addiction but only ends up having sex with the woman he's supposed to be sponsoring. He works together with his best friend, Denny, at a Colonial America re-enactment park, the kind of place school kids go to learn about the early settlers. He also is a com-man, faking choking fits in restaurants in order to get money so he can support his mother, Ida, who has dementia and lives in a home. On one of his visits he meets a doctor, Paige Marshall, who thinks she knows a way to help Ida, but it's risky. I really don't want to give too much away, so I'll leave my short plot summary here.A pretty well made film with really good performances from both Sam Rockwell as Victor and Anjelica Huston as Ida J. Mancini. I must also give honourable mentions to Brad William Henke as Denny and Kelly Macdonald as Paige Marshall.A lot of the story is told in flashback, harking back to when Victor was a boy on the run with Ida. A really quirky film with all the odd twists you'd expect from the writer of Fight Club. Although it's far from prefect I enjoyed this one very much, and that's not just because of the nudity and sex scenes. Over all, not perfect, enjoyable with a few laughs: Recommended.My score: 6.8/10
