Choke

Review: Choke
In another Chuck Palahniuk tale involving self help groups, Victor (Sam Rockwell) is not only a sex addict, but he fakes choking attacks so that his saviors will feel generous towards him. He uses this money to pay for his mom (Angelica Huston)'s hospital care. She doesn't recognize him so he plays… No, I don't want to spoil anymore.

Without ripping from David Fincher, Choke captures the irreverent spirit of Palahniuk. I say that based on the two movies I've seen based on his work. Actually, I listened to Fight Club on audiobook also, but they're probably all like this.

So the narrator breaks the rules. There are enough artsy effects to qualify as an edgy indie film but used in cool, fun ways so it's never too "deep." They even give us the exposition via a delusional multiple personality episode. That's one way to do it.
