Sucker Punch is a film by director Zack Synder (300, Watchmen) which glorifies violence with great visuals and has wonderful cinematography. Sucker Punch is an action movie and the action scenes are brilliantly made. A lot of criticism seems to stream that the film was not rated R (probably would have been better- making it more realistic) and that the story is thin. However, this did not bother me as I had no expectations and did not watch this for a complex story. I was interested and entertained throughout the film and I feel that Synder did his job well.
Sucker Punch isn't that completely brainless and pointless, there is a story within it and one would get confused it they are not paying attention. The acting was solid, Emily Browning steals the film as the lead as Babydoll. Abie Cornish does well as Sweatpea, the leader of the group who isn't convinced of Babydoll's ways. The rest of the girls Rocket, Blondie and Amber are solid supporting cast, however more could have been explained more for their characters. Carly Gugino and Oscar Isaac also do a great job portraying their characters. Overall Sucker Punch is a fun ride and not nearly as bad as some of the critics have been pointing out.
