Lot to love. Lot to hate.

Rating: 6/10 (3 April 2019)

Sucker Punch is basically Zack Snyder's "Inception" - with an equally fascinating concept at the heart of his film - venturing into the mind of his central character - but a somewhat less masterful exploration of it than Nolan's aforementioned blockbuster.
The idea itself is intriguing & with further rewrites to streamline the narrative (& improve upon clunky dialogue), it could've been brilliant but unfortunately, what we're provided with is a mismatched, tonally incoherent, peculiar installment in Snyder's filmography...
Genuinely unsettling moments of tension with outstanding performances from Jena Malone, Oscar Isaac & Carla Gugino, inventive editing & composition of sequences, as well as effective uses of colour palettes in scenes with great cinematography - there's undeniably a lot to admire & appreciate; but the unpredictability in Snyder's direction is both a blessing & a curse, leaving things bordering on being blatantly inconsistent...
