The only martial arts film I got to see at the Toronto International Film Festival 2008 and also the closing film of the festival and let’s just say it ended the festival off with a bang. From the director of Ong Bak and starring a new 23 year old female action protégé who goes by the name of Jeeja (probably spelled wrong) that has the same fierceness and commanding presence that Tony Jaa had in ONG BAK, CHOCOLATE is just an ass kicking good time. After a slow first half hour and a weak story, the film kicked it into top gear with its insane stunts and strong fight choreography. Fight fans rejoice and stay for the end credits to see the mishaps on set of making this film, Thai stuntmen and stuntwomen are crazy. Pick this one up on DVD which is available right now from Magnet Releasing.
The Boom Verdict: 4 out of 5
