Choke!

I wish we watched Changeling, but probably Andy didn't want us to be influenced by the great number of reviews already written about it. So he chose Choke! The film focuses on its central character Victor Mancini (played by Sam Rockwell) and his journey of finding his true personality and earning some sort of morality. A loving son and in the same time shallow on his views about women, Victor is struggling to retain balance. The story reveals details of his lonely childhood to justify his nature of a sex addict but in the same time presents him as an ordinary man lost his direction under the circumstances. In some places the plot goes a bit too far including unnecessary and implausible details such as "The Jesus" part. Also the efforts to give Victor an Italian origin are hackneyed, and not very successful in trying to make a point of that. Regardless of some clumsy parts in the film, "Choke" offers the viewers original ideas and brings entertainment.
