Choke (2008)

Choke | United States of America

Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) is a sex-addicted med-school dropout who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida (Anjelica Huston), in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical reenactor at a Colonial Williamsburg theme park. At night Victor runs a scam by deliberately choking in upscale restaurants to form parasitic relationships with the wealthy patrons who "save" him. When, in a rare lucid movement, Ida reveals that she has withheld the shocking truth of his father's identity, Victor enlists the aid of his best friend, Denny (Brad William Henke) and his mother's beautiful attending physician, Dr. Paige Marshall (Kelly Macdonald), to solve the mystery before the truth of his possibly divine parentage is lost forever. This dark comedy is based on a novel by Chuck Palahniuk, most famous for writing the book FIGHT CLUB. Cast: Sam Rockwell, Anjelica Huston, Kelly MacDonald, Brad William Henke, Jonah Bobo Directed by Clark Gregg Script: Clark Gregg, Chuck Palahniuk
