Zen (the spunky JeeJa Yanin) is a young girl with a crazy kind of autism - one that makes her all but inarticulate yet gives her near-superhuman skills in the area of martial arts. When her mother, a former-gangster-turned-straight single mom, is diagnosed with cancer, Zen uses her unique fighting skills to collect all the money owed to her by a band of cutthroat criminals.
"Chocolate" is a damn silly movie at times, but there's no point in denying that there is at least some purgative and entertainment value in watching a sweet, innocent kid consistently beating the living crap out of a bunch of surly, burly bad guys - at least, that is, until the novelty wears off and monotony and redundancy become the order of the day.
