Theatrical report

Remember that movie about a guy who gets fired from the Defence Force and he walks into a fast food joint and tries to order breakfast with an uzi? [Falling down - Director of Intelligence] Well, Choke is what would've happened had he lasted long enough to talk about it.

I saw a girl have a fight with her boyfriend then do a hit and run then get her daddy into the whole mess by killing a guy. It's not very interesting and it doesn't make much sense. I wouldn't watch it again if I was paid. Anything less than $200.00. Maybe you'll enjoy Choke more than I, but I doubts it.
