CHOKEHOLD

Cinemavixion Review

In the gritty, visceral world of underground MMA, 'Chokehold' delivers a compelling narrative of a young woman's quest for justice. Zoey, portrayed with determination, navigates the treacherous landscape of No Holds Barred fighting following her father's murder. The film adeptly blends themes of redemption and revenge, as Zoey must not only confront her father's killers but also salvage the family gym, a symbol of her heritage. Director Brian Skiba crafts a raw, intense atmosphere, amplified by solid performances from Casper Van Dien and Lochlyn Munro. While the film dives deep into the brutal realities of the fighting circuit, it's Zoey's personal journey for reconciliation and closure that truly anchors the story. 'Chokehold' offers a captivating look at resilience in the face of loss and the lengths one will go to avenge a loved one.
