Chok-Dee
2005 Action / Drama
 Review
An enjoyable Rocky-style film for anyone interested in martial arts films. For the
rest of us, Chok-Dee has
little to offer. The characterisation is superficial, the story
contrived and, at times, very muddled. Xavier Durringer certainly shows
some promise as a director, but here he seems a little too content
merely to imitate others, instead of developing his own style. Chok-Dee isn’t a bad film, just
one of limited appeal.
