Choke

an erotic gospel for the secular age

'Choke' never manages to be as edgy, amusing, insightful or plain messy as you'd hope it would be, especially considering its 'naughty' promotional poster and the distribution of anal beads as a marketing device.

Choke is a confused sex comedy by Clark Gregg that blunders around for 90-odd minutes trying to look butch and sensitive.

For all its flaws and fumbles there is a certain guilty pleasure in Choke.

This adaptation of a novel by American provocateur Chuck Palahniuk is profane, offensive and obscene, and packed with balefully weak jokes.

Choke is a film that might disgust you, intrigue you, make you feel sympathy for a wretched character or two, but it certainly won’t leave a lasting impression.

Manages to be thought-provoking and challenging even while assaulting the senses and overstepping the boundaries of good taste.

A solid adaptation of Palahniuk's novel.

Although described as a dark comedy, CHOKE is anything but dark. Twisted, funny, strange, endearingly sweet, sincere, sexy -- yes. But nothing that won't get you CHOKE-D up with laughter and unbridled enjoyment.
