Chuck Palahniuk, author of both Choke and Fight Club along with a string of "cult classic" novels, must have had little say in the final cut of Choke, the movie. Either that, or the delayed success of his last book, coupled with what were here at Recognize can only guess is a budding drug problem, has caused him to do anything for money.
Regardless, if you were a fan of the book, don't see the movie. At the midpoint, when every twist starts to unravel itself, the original story falls apart and defines a new path to a more Judy Garland ending.
The Good:
The filter used on the camera throughout the movie gave it that seventies porno flick feel that a reader might glean from the book.
The Bad:
The writing.
Reason not to see the movie with your mother:
Enough sexual content that theres no way the original cut made it by the MPAA on it's first, second, or even seventh try without garnering an NC-17 rating.
