Chocolate is a bizarre martial arts flick, with a slushy plot, an unusual protagonist, and breathtaking stunts.

Caroline Narby Bitch Media The focus is on the fights and, though I am hardly a connoisseur of the genre, I was certainly entertained by the fight sequences. Jan 11, 2021 Full Review Wesley Morris Boston Globe It's called Chocolate, but Cheese would have been just as good. Soaked with tears, full of schmaltz, and yet strewn with bodies, Prachya Pinkaew's new kick-'em-up is extreme action, extreme melodrama, and extremely hard to resist. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2009 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle At its heart, Chocolate is a simple tale of a special girl trying to make her way in a considerably unspecial world. Rated: 3.5/4 Feb 13, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Even for audiences hoping to lose themselves in a procession of martial arts displays, the banality of the story keeps creeping in, distracting, and insisting upon its useless attempts to jerk a tear. Rated: 1/4 Dec 2, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand The filmmaking is often sloppy and filled with awkward performances... But the fights are terrific, tightly choreographed with a good sense of ensemble movement and shot in long takes that showcase the fluidity of the action... Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The action scenes are intriguing, starting simply and building up to use dangerous props and treacherous locations. Rated: 6/10 Nov 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Maxim K Great TKD kick and stunts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Corey K Favorite martial art flick. Heartwarming and the lead does her own stunts Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Ronnie M Fantastic storyline and fight choreography. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Lorenzo P The fight scenes and the stunts were decent and shot in a good way. That's everything good the movie had to offer. Everything else is terrible, starting from the cinematography, which looks like something out of a telenovela, the same goes for the dialogues. The actors are as bad as you can find them (except in the fights where they act at least decently). The plot is botched, almost non-existent. Overall, I wouldn't suggest the film even to anyone who just wants martial arts. Save yourself 110'. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/19/23 Full Review Tonya H Awesome Awesome I 𝕝𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕕 𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕞𝕠𝕧𝕚𝕖!
