Damn! Just finished watching "Chocolate", a Thai martial arts flick about a young autistic lady that is a "savante" and can pick up any style simply by watching it on TV. It's a little slow in the beginning (ok, a lot slow, almost turned it off once), some subtitles, dubbed voice over, but once you get past all that, the action is incredible! The stunts are what I would call "extreme stunts" where the stunt guys actually end up getting cut up, beat up.... there is this scene at the end where the star is kicking butt on these ledges outside a multistory apartment complex, and these bad guys are falling off, smacking into the ledges below, and then bouncing off the ground. the camera takes you every step of the fall, and doesn't cut away like on american movies, where the stunt man can safely hit an airbag. These dudes are really hitting the ground! I watched it a second time with my son, and we were both howling our approval with this action! If you like watching martial arts movies with incredible "real life" stunts, this is a must see! Don't forget to watch the "bloopers" trailer at the end where it shows all the stunt guys in the hospital from all their injuries!!!:
Has anyone else seen this movie? (It was sent to me by accident through my Netflix sub)
