While you may be right that Fight Club's style might be too much for Choke (I'd argue otherwise or at least some modified form of it), Choke has next to no visual style. It's a minor point, though, as it really didn't distract much from Choke's other strengths (e.g., story, characters, performances). Mind Dancer, Choke is currently set for a late August release date. I'll probably check it out again, Orange Cinema, maybe, maybe not, but what I was trying to suggest in a limited space was that Fight Club fans should have wholly different expectations for Choke.

He's one of my favorite character actors who I think has the potential to be a star. I was actually the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies (don't judge me!) and he's the main thug in the movie. Awesome! Sam Rockwell is the man.
