Prachya Pinkaew's Chocolate | Girl kicks ass!
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill installments might have had some kick-ass fight scenes and no-hold-back violence, but those films have got nothing against CHOCOLATE.
Chocolate tells the story of an autistic girl, who picks up her martial arts skills through what she sees on TV and the Muay thai boxing school next door. After learning of her ailing mother's debts, the girl, played by newcomer Nicharee "Jeeja" Vismistanada, goes collecting, and in the process, runs into criminal gangs, the Japanese mafia, and her father.
Directed by Prachya Pinkaew, the director of 2003's Ong Bak, Chocolate takes viewers on a whirlwind adventure. Translation: this chick kicks ass!
The film premiered in Thailand on Feb. 6, 2008. There is no word yet on a North American release.
