"Sucker Punch" is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls-the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung)-to band together and try to escape a terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac) and Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino), before the mysterious High Roller (Jon Hamm) comes for Babydoll. Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey-if they succeed-will set them free.. -- (C) Warner Bros

  • the movie mad no sense to me i couldnt really grasp wat was going on..

  • I think the standard criticism for the movie is a little overboard. It's accusations of misogny are a little misguided, but the criticism for the story is more fair. But the thing is, Zack Snyder's intention was to make a silly, mostly visual, rollercoaster ride. And in that, I think it succeeds.

  • A STEAMING PILE OF DOG SHITE ...so true...

  • I liked the film for the symbolism. Although, many people didnt see anything like that -_- like the tricky mirror effects for the blur between what's real and what's imaginary or how rocket was the only one who had an old gun for how she holds onto her past. There's a lot more symbols but I wouldn't have enough room on here.

  • Rated R for retarded

  • worst movie ive ever seen

  • I personally loved the movie :)

    9 1/2 out of 10

  • Your only ever gunna truly understand this film if you've wanted to escape at some point in your life. Otherwise it's clueless to you and just appears as a action movie with chicks. As a girl my self this movie really gets to me and the only thing that I had fault with was that baby doll got laboptimised I really wanted her to escape. Emily and sucker punch are now my favourite actress and film

  • I judged the movie as dogshit a long time ago. What actually made me want to see it was a review in the Chicago Tribune newspaper that award this movie as the Number 1 WORST Movie Of 2011.
