Of course I sat down to watch the 2019 movie "Chokehold" solely because that Casper Van Dien was on the cast list. So imagine my surprise when I realized just how little he was actually in the movie. Now, the storyline told in "Chokehold" is pretty straight forward and very easy to follow. It is a simplistic revenge fighting movie that does little to challenge the intellect of the viewers. Yeah, this movie is essentially a movie where you just lean back and watch the ladies duke it out. And that was essentially all that there was to this movie; women fighting. And that made for a rather mundane and somewhat boring movie experience. Sure, I believe that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Chokehold". I, however, wanted a movie with a bit more contents to it than what writers Brian Skiba and Craig Michael Hall delivered with this 2019 movie. The acting in the movie was dubious at best. So you shouldn't sit down to watch "Chokehold" and expect to see a myriad of spectacular acting performances. The majority of performances were actually wooden and rigid. But I suppose that had a lot to do with the fact that the characters in the movie were bland, pointless and mediocre. Yeah, the writing wasn't the biggest force of this movie, neither in terms of script and story, nor in terms of characters with depths and appeal. "Chokehold" is the type of movie that came and went without leaving a lasting impression in any way. I didn't even know about it before now in 2021, as I had the opportunity to sit down to watch it. And I know that this is not a movie that will find its way to my TV a second time around. My rating of "Chokehold" lands on a less than mediocre four out of ten stars. And that is based mostly on the fighting sequences alone, as the movie offered little else actually.

After about 15 minutes, I started to fast-forward to the 'action' scenes, which were comically entertaining. If you can sit through this entire film, you either deserve a medal or need some serious counselling. Tried to imitate a few other movies (like 'Rocky') and failed miserably. Total waste of time, even using my fast-forwarding technique. Hard to believe someone put the time and money into making this.

Some of the worst acting you will ever see. Terrible story line inspite of trying. Some Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon effects that are done poorly.

As usual!! Someone died and revenge reaction , absolutely they can do better movie but they didn't!!

Crappy story, crappy directing, crappy acting, crappy badly shot and edited action. Did I say this is crappy? But still better than some of those crappy Merhi martial arts disasters. But still crappy!

Zoey (Melissa Croden ) fights mixed martial arts and in the first 10 minutes, we see two broken bones. Zoey ends up street fighting after her father (Casper Van Dien) is murdered by the Russian mob for impersonating an actor. We spend the rest of the film watching a script limp along as she gets revenge. Some of the choreography looked like "professional" wrestling. Other times it was slow moving. The acting was not that great especially the scene "Zoey wake up! Someone help!" They could have come up with better lines or done a retake. Could have been worse. Not as bad as "Badass Showdown." Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity

Guys such as Casper Van Dien and Lochlyn Munro have both become certified bad B movie brand names. Munro has been showing his face in most Steven Seagal's bad movies, Van Dien once could be a break-through star but later failed after several unsuccessful movies, and now also became a throw-back B movie actor since only movies with limited budgets and terrible screenplays would throw bones to him. This film is so bad, signed up several non-talent females to play some entry-level MMA female fighters with a terribly scripted, poorly directed B-movie. The storyline is so weak and cracked apart all over the place, some scenes were almost clueless. Pointless fights with unnecessary cruelty for the female actors to perform, breaking elbow or even thighs or knees. But there's almost no storyline at all. What a joke, how dare you guys call this as a watchable movie?!
