Hollywood
movie
Sucker
Punch
is
a
passion
project
of
director
Zack
Snyder,
who
has
produced,
directed
and
co-written
the
story
and
screenplay
with
Steve
Shibuya
for
it.
It
is
an
interesting
fantasy
film,
which
is
completely
an
original
flick
by
Snyder.
It
has
been
done
with
a
great
in-depth
and
is
definitely
a
visually
stunning
film,
which
is
fairly
impressive
to
watch.
Sucker
Punch,
which
has
been
rated
PG-13,
has
the
plot
within
the
plot
within
the
plot.
It
is
a
fantasy
world
within
a
fantasy
world
within
a
fantasy
world.
It
is
a
mess
on
many
levels
and
is
a
fairly
hard
film
to
review.
There
is
a
main
plot
very
loosely
dispersed
throughout
the
movie,
but
it
is
so
muddled
by
the
other
layers
that
it
is
very
hard
to
tell
what
is
actually
going
on.
Sucker
Punch
is
all
about
how
a
girl
named
Baby
Doll,
who
has
been
lobotomised
due
to
her
stepfather's
greed
and
how
she
escapes
from
the
asylum.
Snyder,
who
helmed
such
techno-thrill
adventures
as
Watchmen,
lets
his
imagination
run
riot
again
in
this
ultra-violent
potboiler
that
unravels
like
an
expensive
video
game.
He
has
worked
extra
hard
to
insert
high
outlook
into
every
single.
His
brain
is
geared
towards
directing
and
visuals.
The
mother
of
Baby
Doll
(Emily
Browning)
dies
leaving
behind
her
estate
to
her
two
daughters
in
1955.
But
Baby
Doll
is
institutionalized
by
her
stepfather
at
the
Lennox
House
for
the
Mentally
Insane
after
accidentally
shooting
her
sister
while
trying
to
prevent
him
from
molesting
them.
He
even
bribes
asylum"s
orderly
Blue
Jones
(Oscar
Isaac)
to
lobotomise
her
before
she
reveals
the
reality.
She
has
five
days
before
the
Doctor
(John
Hamm)
arrives
to
lobotomize
her.
She
befriends
Sweet
Pea
(Abbie
Cornish),
Rocket
(Jena
Malone),
Blondie
(Vanessa
Hudgens)
and
Amber
(Jamie
Chung)
in
the
asylum.
How
she
escapes
from
there
along
with
them
with
the
advice
of
Wise
Man
(Scott
Glenn)
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story.
Zack
Snyder
has
been
in
his
characterisation
and
has
given
enough
scope
to
explore
its
strength.
Although
all
character
looks
like
an
angel
does
not
appear
to
be
in
real
wold,
each
has
its
own
strength
and
credibility
to
make
the
audience
sit
back
and
watch
the
movie
till
its
end.
The
director
is
also
successful
in
tapping
out
the
right
kind
of
acting
from
all
the
actors
like
Emily
Browning,
Oscar
Isaa,
John
Hamm,
Abbie
Cornish,
Jena
Malone,
Vanessa
Hudgens,
Jamie
Chung
and
Scott
Glenn.
Sucker
Punch
has
sound
technical
elements
Larry
Fong's
cinematography
is
excellent.
The
plot
is
just
something
that
is
there
to
explain
the
visuals
in
the
same
way
that
a
video
game
and
the
camera
never
stops
moving.
There
is
never
a
scene
without
multiple
things
going
on
and
it
is
hard
to
follow.
It
is
like
watching
the
world
through
the
eyes
of
a
hyper-active
kid.
Tyler
Bates
and
Marius
de
Vries'
music
is
mind(less)blowing.
William
Hoy's
editing
is
also
commendable.
Overall,
Sucker
Punch
is
a
fantasy
world.
It
is
a
video
game
and
has
massive
fights,
which
do
look
great.
Moreover,
it
has
a
message
that
each
human
being
has
some
tools,
but
he/she
has
to
decide
what
is
worth
fighting
for.
All
the
character
and
scenes
are
symbolic.
It
is
a
mindblowing
entertainment
and
Snyder
is
to
be
commended
for
attempting
to
do
something
totally
original.
It
is
a
visual
feast.
