Cine Asia Releases Chocolate on UK DVD

Prolific UK DVD label Cine Asia are releasing the new Thai actioner Chocolate on November 3^rd 2008. If you are going to buy one DVD before 2008 ends – make yours a Chocolate!

Film Synopsis:
Sin was once a prominent member of the most feared mafia gang in Thailand and mistress to its notorious leader, the ruthless Number-8. Now suffering from leukaemia, the only way to raise money for treatment is for her daughter, Zen, to seek out her old underworld contacts and collect aged debts.

Blessed with an incredible ability to mimic the fighting moves of her favourite action heroes, Zen proves an awesome match for those who stand in her way. However, when Number 8 decides that the money belongs to him, Zen is faced with a full-on battle for survival.

Starring Asia’s new female action superstar JeeJa Yanin (who spent 2 full years in training), Chocolate contains some of the most breathtaking set piece action scenes you will see this year!

If you liked Ong-Bak or Warrior King, you will absolutely LOVE this movie. From the same production team, Chocolate is another mad, stunt-packed, martial arts fest that delivers the kind of action that Hollywood movies only wish they could! Watch out especially for the wince-inducing out-takes at the end where they show the actors getting accidentally mashed during the stunts - priceless! Good on you Cine Asia for continually releasing quality Asian DVDs in the UK.

I watched this in Thailand this year - even without any English dubbing or subtitles and loved the action. This brings back the memories of early Jackie Chan films where you know there are no stunt doubles or CGI. The young actress is great to watch, and even knowing in reality that the power delivered is greatly hyped, this didn’t stop my enjoyment of the movie in the slightest - stay and watch the outtakes at the end too! If you haven’t seen Tony Jaas’ movies yet - (Ong Bak and Warrior King) get them too, you’ll love them!!
Sit back, switch off your brain, and enjoy!!
