"Choke". What more is to sayabout a film with a title as short as this. Short and straight to the point as I felt all the way throughthis film, as though Sam Rockwell's chracter was choking until he could finally find some sort of truth about his past. The film is about Victor, a sex addicted bastard with a mother suffering from dymentia. As the film goes on, it gets harder and harder to find what Victors desire actually is. His mindless sex crazed antics all resolve around his childhood and his crazy lifestyle with his crazed mother. Yet the film has some sort of confidence as it redeems itself with quirky comedy and a fantasic character, who has a likeable quality, considering his role in life as an arsehole. The introduction of Doctor Paige Marshall adds more meaning to the story as she stretches to find Sam Rockwells past aswell, but she also lends a fatastic twist in the story, to help in Rockwell's problems. Clarke Gregg has succcessfully connected victor with the audience, with a film which is infact and emotionally impacting film about love and family but wrapped in the comic life of a sex addict.
