Trailer Review: Chocolate

Posted by Sarah Clyne Sundberg

Do you to see like chop-sockies get indie recognition but found Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon too slick and Kill Bill too, uh, Tarantino? This may be your lucky day. Chocolate — a Thai movie about "a special needs girl with a special need to kick some ass," is about to hit your local arthouse theatre. It is a little hard to make out the finer points of the plot. Not that that is going to stop me from passing judgement.

From the info we have to work with here it seems to go something like this: Two sexy people spawn a cute, candy-loving but autistic daughter. Between wolfing down M&Ms and staring into space, she discovers she has a remarkable talent for martial arts. There looks to be a whole lot of gritty Asian locations on hand and digitally enhanced fight scenes to boot. Is it funny? Probably. Is it good? Who knows. I, for one, can't wait to find out.
