Reviews for Chocolate
The heart of the film may be its action sequences but, even outside the battle arena, ‘Chocolate’ is a nicely characterised and consistently likeable piece of work.

Another symphony of exquisitely choreographed carnage.

Is it radical or offensive? I really don't know. It certainly got my attention.

Don’t bother looking for wires and safety nets because there aren’t any. As the end credits show in wince-making detail, all the performers genuinely suffer for their art.

It’s likely to be drooled over by fans of the genre and no doubt enthused about by Quentin Tarantino. But if kung fu ain’t your thing, this won’t convert you.
10/24/08
Unfortunately, the martial arts action is only half the movie – the rest is badly acted and gory.

A bizarre, often tasteless, but never dull Thai martial arts movie.
10/24/08
The slightly slushy plot is really an excuse to catch your breath between the action sequences, which are fast, loud and crammed with references that only Bruce Lee fans will properly appreciate.

The director makes sure we know that it all proves how people with special needs can triumph.
10/24/08
Yes, it's extremely choppy and not terribly well-developed, with characters appearing and disappearing at random. But the fights are so impressive that we can't help but be thoroughly entertained.
10/24/08
JeeJa Yanin is a sensational discovery but this mixed assortment of high kicks and even higher melodrama may be an imperfect vehicle for her.
10/20/08
A less tasty martial-arts actioner featuring an autistic kickboxing queen energized by confectionery.
10/18/08
It fails to be the exploitation movie it desperately wants to be. Too much attention is paid to the tear-jerking elements, which never register because the plot is so sparse.
