Moviegoers are saying
RZA's 'One Spoon of Chocolate' is a polarizing revenge thriller that divides audiences between those who embrace its gritty, uncompromising vision and those who find it technically lacking. While critics slam its pacing issues and budget limitations, fans of 70s/80s exploitation cinema praise its authentic brutality and unapologetic commitment to its violent payoff.

“produced by quentin tarantino” yeah we can tell
cobApr 17, 2026Was this good? Not necessarily. Was it made with the RZA's entire heart and soul? Absolutely. The ambition and ideas are there, the craft is just severely lacking (so is the budget). One guy stormed out in the middle because a movie directed by the RZA dare say that…
JaysonMay 1, 2026I almost talked myself out of this one. Right before watching it I checked Rotten Tomatoes and the reviews were rough. "One out of five." "Cruel." "Mean spirited." "Slow." (The reviews on Letterboxd look equally brutal) I went in skeptical... ...but by the 3rd act I was…

I love RZA, but this is not a good movie. There is a lot I could say about the bad elements (QT had to be impressed with the number of white people using the n-word) and the awful inconclusive ending, but I’d rather discuss the good. The soundtrack is fantastic, some of the…

HunterJun 11, 2025the trash cinema equivalent of what Jeremy Saulnier did with Rebel Ridge, eschewing technical finesse for something much scrappier, meaner and, well, exploitative — if this was shot on 16mm, it would likely land better and RZA’s aspirations would be more obvious and…

not too bad, but also not very good. the climax was pretty awesome, but then the actual ending had me feeling so mad. like um... that's it? that's where you choose to end it???? ugh i hated that.
haleyApr 27, 2026Yep, that’s classic Ohio for ya. The best Monday mystery movies are the ones you’ve literally never heard of, something that has become rarer and rarer for me. And this is didn’t let down… in that respect. One Spoon of Chocolate just flat out is not a good movie, and I…
Ron FrearApr 29, 2026The RZA clearly loves classic exploitation fare and he tossed a bunch of his favorites into a blender, added a dash of First Blood, and whipped up a concoction that is somehow both very frothy and very peppery. (A few years ago I would have called its premise, supposedly…

7/10 brutal but good watch. Liked the scene where he is washed by red lighting, and also the juxtaposition between him and the girl vs the gang partying it up. There's a predictable scene, but it felt purposefully done so the viewer can get a sense of dread for what the character is about to walk…
Jasmine King lovedOne Spoon of Chocolatei loved the scrappiness! it made the emotions and overall message feel so much more raw and natural. the racism was genuinely infuriating to watch because it’s something i can and will never understand, but i think that’s what made it hit even harder. the pacing was great too. i never got bored…
robi is "meh" onOne Spoon of ChocolateI expected so much out of this movie when I first saw the trailer but this disappointed me so much. Its not a bad movie movie, but it didn’t reach my expectations. The fight scenes were pretty good and I thought the ending was good too.

Love love love this movie bittersweet on the ending but overall great watch great story great plot and great actors if you’ve seen them in other roles. RZA and Quentin Tarantino made a movie I know both of them loved to be apart of.
J dislikedOne Spoon of ChocolateShameik Moore is completely unconvincing in this role but he wasn’t helped with how directionless this movie was in general. Very disappointing amc screen unseen
Stew likedOne Spoon of ChocolateA mix of kill bill, higher learning and Wu tang …… kinda works kinda does so great action at times All in all an ok watch
- Gabriel D. Ordunez likedOne Spoon of Chocolate
Cheese at part, if you go into it with the Kill Bill mentality and love some old school fight scenes you’ll love it. 7/10
DJWSA is "meh" onOne Spoon of ChocolateCould of been better executed imo. Also, these type of films are getting tired and old at this point.
DJ likedOne Spoon of ChocolateIf I had known Terentino was involved I would’ve be more prepared, but a good time was had.

Loved every bit of this movie! The action the knowledge everything!
RIRaymond III wish they would have shown what happened at the end. Unless they’re coming out with a sequel. Good movie though. You can tell it was a RZA and Quentin Tarratino movie.
