 About Sucker Punch
A young girl (Baby Doll) is locked away in a mental asylum by her abusive stepfather where she will undergo a lobotomy in five days time. Faced with unimaginable odds, she retreats to a fantastical world in her imagination where she and four other female inmates at the asylum, plot to escape the facility. The lines between reality and fantasy blur as Baby Doll and her four companions, as well as a mysterious guide, fight to retrieve the five items they need that will allow them to break free from their captors before it's too late...

My Review
I enjoyed this movie. Many people are upset over the lack of story line that is presented throughout the movie. They also didn't like the references that Sucker Punch had. Director Zack Snyder and Steve Shibuya wrote Sucker Punch which took them about 5 years to do. I think Zack delivered an awesome action packed non-stop movie. The visuals were stunning and the acting was perfect. Emily Browning who plays the role of "Baby Doll" had few lines in the movie but still created a bad ass chick who knows how to kick ass. Abbie Cornish plays "Sweat Pea" a wonderful sidekick. She shows how tough things can be and at the same is the reason the team stays together. Baby Doll and Sweat Pea make a great action team.

Sucker Punch has guns, swords, explosions, Nazis, dragons, robots, machine gun handling samurai, and five hot chicks who are ready to kill everything in sight for freedom. The plot was difficult to follow but was made up by all the action. I think people are over analyzing what the movie really is. It's not intended for someone to watch a movie all about dialogue. It's for you to be like "Oh my! That was so cool!'. So If you like non-stop action this is the movie for you.

4 out of 5 Stars.
