Choke (2008)

I have been looking forward to the release of Choke in Britain for some time, being a big fan of Chuck Palanuik's work. The last Palanuik film to be adapted to film was Fight Club and we all know how much of a staple that is in the world of films.
The film does differ slightly from the book, but to be honest , that was to be expected. Adapting a book to the big screen , expecially one like Choke, was always going to be difficult.

The cast was brilliant. Sam Rockwell plays Victor brilliantly, he really gave me the impression that he was confused, but just never showed it and that he was hopelessly always looking for his next sexual oppurtunity. Kelly Macdonald also gave an amazing performance as Paig Marshall. And of course - the brilliant Anjelica Huston was the icing on the cake.

I will admit that after the impressive mark Fight Club left on me , this wasn't as amazing as it could have been, but it's definately still worth a watch.
