an erotic gospel for the secular age

Uneven and oddly compromised in tone, Choke is a competent enough black comedy, but in the shadow of that other film, it never shines.

Squandered dime-store philosophy.

Choke tries to be dirty but manages merely to be dingy.

Choke is an admirably fearless no-net movie, but rather than wowing the crowd below, it lands in the center of the big top with a resounding thud.

Bobs around on a tide of misanthropy, occasionally surprising us with small moments of brilliance.

I found it choppy, I found it dull, I found it disinteresting.

Despite the busy plotwork, surprisingly little actually happens.

This movie is only marginally enjoyable.

Rockwell has an off-center charm and, as his gorgon mother, Anjelica Huston is more imposing than this movie deserves.

'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.
