The view from inside isn’t much different. The space smells like oil and metal, the walls are plastered with...
...what could be called the turning point of “Choke,” Clark Gregg’s directorial debut, a doctor played by Kelly Macdonald reveals that Sam Rockwell’s character may share genetic material with Jesus Christ. “So you’re saying I’m the son of Jesus Christ?” he asks. “More like His half-clone,” she replies.There are a handful of delirious revelations like this in the film—which is adapted from the Chuck Palahniuk novel...
