The Skinny: Imagine if Rain Man had studied Muay Thai. Chocolatefrom the makers of the batshit martial arts flick Ong Baktells the story of an autistic girl who doesn't so much count cards as she does whoop monstrous amounts of ass. Frequently.
The Good: The movie's main selling pointthat'd be the martial artsis, thankfully, on the money. Chocolate's fight scenes get more and more ridiculous as the movie goes on, and you'll enjoy every skull-cracking second of it.
The Bad: Just don't expect it to make much sense. The plot is barely there (but isn't that always the case with kung fu movies?) and the characters are merely walking excuses to have fights. But, again, if you're looking for The Reader, then please look elsewhere.
Best Extra: The disc is a little thin on extras, with only one measly making-of featurette. Meh.
Buy, Rent, or Ignore: A rental that'll perfectly satisfy your kung fu fix.
