CHOKE CHOKE is a wickedly dark satire. Sam Rockwell plays a med school dropout who is an “historical interpreter” by day. At night he pretends to choke in upscale restaurants in order to manipulate the wealthy patrons who “save” him. The rest of the time he's a compulsive sex addict, when he's not trying to help his crazy institutionalized mother played by Angelica Huston. This is a wild and raunchy comedy based on the writing of cult author Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club). And be forewarned: the vulgarity quotient in CHOKE is amusingly high. |
