Review of Chocolate

Chocolate (2008)
6/10
Chocolate!
15 May 2008
The title had me mistaken it as some sort of movie relating about chocolate but it turned out to be a fighting thai movie directed by the guy behind Ong Bak. As a guy behind all the action-packed moves, you should know that this will be one hell of ride. Kicking and punching everywhere and smashing into people's heads. If that is the kind of action move you want, this one suits you very much.

The story is straightforward but in these kind of movies, we don't expect to have a complex story line but good action scenes. Though the story is boring or I don't even want to know the story but see action, I have to give credit to the fighting scenes, people get hurt for real as you see in the blooper like they bleed or got injured for real while making this movie. It is why when you look at the fighting scenes, they look real. The main character even had cuts on her face and bled. That is the thing I had to credit for, they all have the guts to make this movie. On the other hand, I don't know what to say about the director, either the director is crazy or he wants to make the fighting scenes look real. If it is either one, at least, the director has made the effort to make this movie.

Overall: It is okay for an action movie, at least I am thrilled with the fighting scenes and nothing else. I don't know what to comment on the story but it is an action movie, leave your brains at home when watching this or not you won't have fun.
