It's called Chocolate, but Cheese would have been just as good. Soaked with tears, full of schmaltz, and yet strewn with bodies, Prachya Pinkaew's new kick-'em-up is extreme action, extreme melodrama, and extremely hard to resist.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It boils down to this: Thai girl fighting. Is that enough of a movie for you?
Chocolate is risibly sentimental even for a genre not known for its emotional sophistication.
The world may not have needed a Thai-language martial-arts hybrid of Kill Bill and Rain Man, but by God, it's got one now.
The heart of the film may be its action sequences but, even outside the battle arena, 'Chocolate' is a nicely characterised and consistently likeable piece of work.
