Choke

Superb acting by both Michael Madsen and Dennis Hopper would have guaranteed Oscars to them in a perfect world. Unfortunately, as can be seen from the very few comments at IMDB, no one with a good taste in movies has ever seen it.

This story has an intriguing premise, an engaging story line, and the series of events unfold in such a way that you would enjoy the ride and never bother try to figure out how it would end. The entire plot sequence involves every familiar but sinister plot device to make an exciting story, but it is the dialog between Hopper and Madsen that makes this movie tick. The interaction between the two of them is so good that you would have to see it to believe it.

Definitely one of Madsen best movies, clearly showing why he was the first choice for Travolta's part in pulp fiction. Best Picture, Best Actor Awards go to this movie. One of my favorite movies made.

One word of warning: the first five minutes of this movie while the credits roll are atrociously bad (poor acting from D grade actors) that take away 1/2* from this otherwise perfect movie. 9.5/10

Films is forgettable, but really takes you on a ride. Madson and Hopper are really incredible, especially Madson. Most of the film there is suspense, and you see how people can change under certain conditions. A physco playing with a successful lawyer like a puppet, and it ends all well,

I would give it a 7/10, it is a one-flick movie though.

This is the most gloriously contrived flick I have ever seen. Dennis Hopper's character and his actions are laugh out loud funny. Man this is a so bad it is good flick in the truest sense. Hopper's inner monologues and Madsen's bad guy mugging for the camera make this silly, silly movie so much fun. Sit back and laugh at this laughable movie. Fun stuff!

We enjoyed very much seeing this movie, the story idea is really good. There are 1000s of Hollywood films worse than this one, which offers not only the regular really cool action parts, but also some really big stars and you can see them acting well together. Maybe one day, a big studio movie will even come up with a high-budget remake of this brilliant story, where nothing is as it appears on the first look...seriously, that the murderer in the first place only mistakenly believes, that he killed Ron Sloan, this is an interesting way on how to begin a tricky story... moreover we liked it a lot, that the movie plays really in Hollywood and you get to see some of the Hollywood and Valley areas you do not see in all the other independent films... so, all in all, a quite entertaining piece of an independent Hollywood movie!

Unfortunately this film is on the 'lost classic' list! i must say the acting isn't the best but what could you expect from such a low budget! Hopper and Madsen are great to watch together, being two of my favourite actors. It has quite a weird feel about it but flows quite well..except i didn't really understand the scene with the man watching through the hole in the fence, quite irrelevant i thought..none the less i enjoyed the story and its worth watching just to see the great ending..not all is what it seems! If you like either or both of these actors then i suggest you give it a go..even if everyone else in the film is virtually unknown! Just always remember some films are worth watching just for a great twist at the end!! Enjoy, i certainly did!
