I don't agree with every one's reviews on here. Honestly, for a moment i thought about not even trying to watch it because every one was so negative. Yes, it did not have a lot of action or gore like you would expect a thriller to be. But the movie was not bad at all. I don't think i have ever seen the main chick in any other movie before, but she did great. Of course Pollock is an awesome actor so it was great on his part. The movie is worth giving it a try. You honestly will never know unless you try and you might get angry later for not even trying to watch it. And like I said, it is not as bad as people made it seem. I mean, the beginning had me hooked and because of it I couldn't stop watching it.

The idea is rather interesting but the execution was poorly done and drags on. It is cheesy right from the start, as one would expect from a C-Movie, a rating which this movie achieved effortlessly. The daughter seems to do her fathers job, in which he doesn't seem to be very interested... As creepy it might be to have something like that happening in the real world, as uninteresting it is to watch here! Editing of the movie seemed to have been huge challenge also. Which in part makes this movie look like a school project shot on a weekend, thus the cheap C-Movie appearance. To summarize, slow boring movie acting is poor, character development also. Uninteresting and dull!

Fiona Wagner (Katheryn Winnick) is studying for the master's degree in journalism and still grieves her mother Samantha that committed suicide in the Crescent Hotel three years ago. Her father, Detective Tom Wagner (Kevin Pollak), is investigating the brutal death of the lawyer Elliot Vincent, who was murdered by his teenager daughter that was forced to choose between killing him or having her mother, little brother and herself killed by the sadistic criminal that had broken in their house.When the pianist Simon Campbell (Tom Cleary) is forced to choose between losing his fingers or his hearing, Tom realizes that a deranged serial-killer is attacking people. Meanwhile, Fiona is contacted by the criminal through the codename ISO_17 that shows pictures of the model Jenna (Kate Nauta), who had had to choose between her face or her vision, with her face destroyed. Fiona recalls that her mother had mentioned something about choice in her suicide note and she decides to investigate the sadistic man, disclosing secrets about her own family."Choose" is a thriller with a scary and sick beginning, when a daughter has to choose between killing her beloved father or her family. Unfortunately the story is terrible, and even fans of sadistic death might not like this flick. The resemblance of the face of the unknown Katheryn Winnick with Scarlett Johansson is impressive. In the end, seeing this movie is an awful choice. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "A Escolhida" ("The Chose One")

If you're a Kevin Pollak junkie, like me, you're probably willing to sit through some cheesy movies, so that you can find the gems, like The Usual Suspects. Unfortunately, this movie is nowhere near that good. Basically, it's a by-the-numbers serial killer movie, with elements of Saw grafted on. I wasn't really expecting anything better than that, so I wasn't disappointed. Most of the performances were passable, and the direction was alright. There was a little bit of gore, which was well done, and a plot twist that worked well enough for the kind of movie this is. So, should you watch this movie? If you've got nothing better to do, and you can find it on a streaming service, like Netflix. Otherwise, pass.Too bad Kevin Pollak doesn't do standup any more.
