Chocolate

[Azisien]

Chocolate (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1183252/) was a movie released this week in the video rental store where I work. I hadn't heard of it in any theatres but then it's an import film so I'm not that surprised. It's by the same director who brought you Ong-Bak, an awesomely entertaining kung-fu movie if only for the chereography and mainstreaming of Muay Thai.

While it's not overall the greatest kung fu movie I've seen, Chocolate was highly enjoyable from beginning to end. It even gave me new respect for autistic people. It also has my tentative winner for the greatest god damn movie fight ever in the history of the universe, to date:

It's totally worth the slight spoilers! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0wvyUI4v4E)

At least it gets some kind of yearly award for coolest god damn final move.

Has anybody else seen Chocolate? Or figured this movie was about something else?

I'd think that would have a different 'literal' definition, especially considering the (probably well educated in unhinged jaws) source.

I saw the trailer a while ago. The first two minutes are long, calm shots of the protagonist as a child and her parents, and just when you're convinced it's an autism drama, she goes and kicks a man arse-first into a drainpipe. Been meaning to get my hands on it.
