The first adaptation of a novel by cult writer Chuck Palahniuk since David Fincher's Fight Club, Choke is full of the writer's signature manic black humour. Sam Rockwell is sensational as med-school dropout Victor Mancini who spends his days working at New England theme-park and his nights attending meetings for sex-addicts or staging fake choking episodes in restaurants to benefit from the expansive generosity of the middle class saviours who rescue him.
