CHOKE 5/10


Sex addict Victor, goes from one recovery group to the next to help him recover from his addiction. He eats at upper-class restaurants to scam money off of rich people by choking and allows himself to be saved by a person who will feel responsible for him and end up sending checks to support him. The money is used to care for his ''mother'' who has Alzheimer disease. He tries to find out the truth from his "mother," about his unstable childhood. This was a very vulgar film, but it has some stupid and funny dialogue.  I have not seen a film like this, in the sense it was different, regarding the subject of the film. The story was a bit all over the place and a bit drab, they tried to spice it up now and again, by adding nudity. There was a confusing part about the second coming of Jesus, which i think they could of left out, it didn't really bring anything to the story except blasphemy against Jesus.  The main character Sam Rockwell had a sort of, doesn't give a shit personality which added to how insecure and emotionally wrecked he was, i enjoyed his performance.
