Chocolate

Chocolate (ช็อคโกแลต, 2008) is a Thai action film from director Prachya Pinkaew that you can watch online on iFILM. A woman named Zin used to run with rival gangs, then gave it all up for a man connected to the yakuza. He's forced to leave before she even tells him she's pregnant. The daughter she raises alone is named Zen, and Zen is diagnosed with autism.

What becomes clear as Zen grows up is that she absorbs fighting techniques simply by watching them — martial arts DVDs, sparring at the gym next door, anything. When Zin falls seriously ill, Zen and her friend Moom discover an old notebook listing everyone who owes Zin money. They set out to collect. The debtors do not cooperate. Lead actress JeeJa Yanin trained for three years in Muay Thai and Jeet Kune Do before shooting; every hit in the film lands for real.

Prachya Pinkaew also directed Ong-Bak, and Chocolate sits right alongside it as pure action craft. The plot is a delivery mechanism and it works perfectly. Stream Chocolate (2008) online on iFILM.
