Chop Chop

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 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.

I rented this a few nights ago and really enjoyed it. It's pure bloody mayhem from start to finish.

But oddly satisfying with a lot of WTF moments right to end and after where I was just left wondering what I watched and why did I continue after I realised that this was just two messed up people having a really, really bad day with some other very messed up people, I can't give it more than a 5 anymore than I can give it less than a five purely because I'm not really certain of just what I just watched.

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.
