Life is cruel. After the death of her mother, Baby Doll is plunged into a spiral of dark depression and, in such a state of mind, accidentally kills her sister. She is soon institutionalised by her abusive stepfather and, retreating into an alternate reality filled with action and fantasy as a coping strategy, envisions a plan to fight and escape.
THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME! Not clever-and –dark-like-Black Swan-awesome, but more like bizarre-yet-hugely-entertaining-like-Scott Pilgrim vs the World-meets-Brazil-type-awesome. Step aside Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, and Lucy Liu, because Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, and Jamie Chung are gonna give you a run for your money!

WHAT A TRIP! It’s not a clever psychoanalytical movie perse, but really a fantasy/action movie where the fantasy runs parallel and even intertwines with reality… a bit like Pan’s Labyrinth.
This movie has pretty much everything incorporated into it. There is action, adventure, drama, the psychoanalytical thrill, skimpy costumes, death, murder, abuse, and sick and twisted sexual thrills. Without a doubt, Sucker Punch is a really bizarre, yet amazingly entertaining and mind-tripping movie.
In terms of performance, this movie prefers to skip the cake, but in terms of costumes, action, and mind-blowing twists, and, to a lesser extent, story, hell, it scoffs the cake! It’s one of the greatest girls-on-top movies I’ve ever seen. Seriously. Charlie’s Angels has nothing on this!
What I love particularly (and I have literally just halfway through writing, realised this) is that this movie is really in a league of its own, because it has the appearance of being a fetish and action-packed type movie, but then it has this psychoanalytical twist that keeps you guessing till after the credits begin to roll. It’s a bit like Brazil in that way, as, for a certain portion of the film, you cannot differentiate between what’s real and what’s fantasy. IT’S BLOODY AWESOME!
Starring Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Jamie Chung, Oscar Isaac, Scott Glenn, and Carla Gugino, Sucker Punch is a bizarre, but brilliant movie filled with action, abuse, murder, promiscuity, bloodshed, death, guns, dragons, Germans, war, fishnets, and heels, not to mention a killer soundtrack, it’s a movie that I am SO adding to the collection!
If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.
