5.0 out of 5 stars ONG-BAK GONE CRAZY!, 2 Sep 2008
I saw this on a recent trip to Thailand (where the movie was filmed) when I was taken to see the movie by a journo friend who was bigging it up. I expected a pretty poor imitation to Ong-Bak if I'm being honest, but I was pretty BLOWN AWAY! From the Ong-Bak / Warrior King producers, Chocolate is a new all-action, stunt-packed, martial arts fest featuring some truly memorable moments. The story follows a teenage girl who visits several of her mum's ex-mafia partners to collect debts to pay for her now sick mother's hospital bills. Of course, no one wants to pay up, so she takes matters into her own fighting hands. I loved the fact that the lead action star was female for a change. Her skills are just amazing - what else can I say? I also loved the fact that half the movie wasn't devoted to trying to make her a sex symbol for the male audience. Instead, the movie concentrates on making her seem like a real fighter with a real cause - refreshing stuff!

So in conclusion, a more than worthy successor to Ong-Bak, Tony Jaa and Warrior King. If you like these, you will love Chocolate. PS. Look out for the stunts-gone-wrong out-takes over the credits at the end - totally crazy stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Then Ong Bak!!!, 10 Nov 2008
By Mr. T. Evans "Tombo The Great" (Worthing, near brighton, in the UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Purchased this movie on DVD yesterday and have got around to watching it today.
It hasn't been blessed with the best of scripts, but the storyline is superb and the fight sequences are second to none!
It also doesn't have the 3 rewinds and replays that come with every kick and punch thats made in Ong Bak. Something i feel really hindered and broke up what would otherwise have been a great movie...

Just to add, JeeJa Yanin looks like one of the most promising exports in years!

5.0 out of 5 stars What Cine-Asia is all about., 13 Oct 2009
Zen is a young girl with learning disabilities and one incredible skill, the ability to mimic the fighting abilities of all the Kung Fu greats. Along with her friend Moom, she uses this skill to recover money owed to her sick mother.
Shot in a style reminiscent of old martial arts movies, the film has an old fashioned and low budget feel. With it's simple but beautiful story, an exceptionaly talented cast, real and gritty set peices and superbly choreogarphed and stunningly executed fight scenes, Chocolate is, to me, what Cine-Asia is all about.
There are several moments to make you smile, a whole bunch of moments to make you gasp in awe and, for the more sensitive viewers, there are moments to make you cringe and possibly even shed a tear.
So if you're a fan of all the old Bruce Lee masterpeices and old Jackie Chan greats (before he 'sold out' to the over budgeted, poorly choreograped, "let's have another pratt-fall" Hollywood style of doing things) then Chocolate is a must see.
