Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell) has got some problems — when he’s not haunting sexual-addiction meetings to bed women, he masquerades as a choking victim in restaurants to gather money from unsuspecting strangers for his ailing mother (Anjelica Huston). But what happens when this messed up Colonial-era theme-park attendant finds Mrs. Right in the guise of his mother’s doctor — and how is he to tell her that he fears he is the next coming of Jesus Christ? Based on Chuck Palahniuk’s (Fight Club) pitch-black comedic novel, Choke is adapted and directed by David Mamet alumni Clark Gregg, whose career spans stage, screen, and TV work as well as a screenplay credit for Robert Zemeckis’s 2000 thriller What Lies Beneath.
