Movies that feel likeChocolate (2008)

Zen, an autistic teenage girl with powerful martial arts skills, gets money to pay for her sick mother Zin's treatment by seeking out all the people who owe Zin money and making them pay.

If you loved Chocolate, the closest films we have are Ong-Bak (2003), The Protector (2005) and Enforcement (2020). All three share Chocolate's kinetic and gritty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Law of Tehran (2019).
