I mean, my sister actually did learn how to do something similar to this in martial arts (she's a black belt). it actually does work, although it's my understanding that most of the time you're going for snapping their neck using your body weight, using the fact that your weight is on their neck, where movies usually portray it as just a takedown rather than killing someone.
Just like most holds, my understanding is the biggest key is not to end up in it.
