Chop Chop

I had the pleasure of working with Jake Brendan Taylor on my feature film a few years ago, so I was excited to check him out in a leading role in CHOP CHOP. Did the film have some structural, sound, and edit inconsistencies, sure, but I found Jake to have an engaging presence on screen, which kept me watching. With tones of Tarantino peppered in, the film will leave you with some head scratching moments, but you may also enjoy the ride. Many of the terrible reviewers here have no idea what an accomplishment it is to bring a completely indie film to distribution. I commend the entire team behind CHOP CHOP for their achievement, and look forward to seeing more of JAKE BRENDAN TAYLOR's work in the future.

Wears its influences on its sleeve. In the hands of Roger Avary this could have been a minor masterpiece. In the hands of this director, it is kind of a mess. More character development is needed, as well as a lot more PLOT development. Things happen for no particular reason. Watchable, but don't expect any resolution.

I made it to the end of the movie.

It's one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Slow beyond belief.

Every single person involved in the making of this movie shoud never be allowed to work again.

I normally don't provide reviews but I was suggested this because it was an indie flick from a promising director. I usually like seeing those combinations because it strays away from the redundant filmmaking.

Yes they are places of confusion where you are scratching your head but that is what it's supposed to do. It's supposed to make you think and analyze who these two main characters are and what their real connection is to the maniacs in the film.

I enjoyed the actors and the survival mode they kept themselves in. The supporting actors such as Jerry brought on great intrigue and made me ask, "What's his connection?"

Give the movie a shot, you'll enjoy it.

This movie has some great cast of characters and for a horror/thriller, a creative set of antagonists where you would think what else could one come up with anymore, this one makes you think otherwise.

The plot, while a bit slow at times and creating more questions then answers, it created an air of suspense. It didn't leave me at the edge of my seat, but kept me curious wanting to learn more. The movie itself was unique in that it was a thriller-satire of sorts. Elements of the movie kept it familiar, but twists and turns kept it creative and fresh.

If you want to watch a different type of thriller, one that pushes the creative boundaries of genres and has a great cast, definitely don't miss this one.

One thing I will say was that I was expecting genuine horror as the genre and the title screams it, however it was more of a light thriller with some satire. It was pleasant surprise nonetheless.

Give yourself a break and give this movie a chance. Try something different for a change.
