Drawn between good or bad

Rating: 4/10 (8 February 2012)

This was movie was a doozy to rate as I was in a fix as to which aspects offered the stars. Yes, there was a grand effort to make a USP of this movie the titillation factor given by the actresses. With a different way of capturing the story expressed, this movie excelled in being unique. The efficacy of graphics and action sequences would have made this movie an excellent one except the unfortunate aspect of- women. To be clear, it is not because the women are participating in the action, but rather are dressed as they are and attack as they do. One borders along the line of wondering whether to be 'turned on' or enjoy the action. Indeed, for those who cherish a woman who can fight, this movie is on to adore, but for people more of my liking this was a blunder. Suckerpunch offers a new way of looking at a story, but confuses the viewer on many levels. Although it may be apparent what is being headed towards, this movie strikes up many questions, for example, why are we watching this/ what is the message trying to be expressed/ what can be learned? Note: It is not that movies cannot be meant for time-pass, but it feels very different to most movies. Watch it if you must, but do not except to be mind-blown as more of a journey is considered as opposed to twists and turns along a straight path to the climax like most movies.
