This is a Pointless Film.

Rating: 3/10 (7 February 2013)

I Did not like this film i just found it too confusing and jumbled up to be enjoyable. I found the beginning of the film very depressing and annoying when the lead girl known as (baby doll) fights with her step dad. the start of the film looks like a music video because not a single person talks!. the dad tries to attack the girls younger sister so the lead girl tries to shoot him to protect her and some how she MISSES!?. which makes no sense! because she was only about two feet away from him!. the girl was either blind or just plain stupid!. the bullet hits the light bulb which is up high and some how the girls younger sister was shot? but we never know how because we never see the bullet hole or blood?. the sister was shot some how?.i'm sorry but that scene made no sense to me, how the hell could the bullet hit the sister? the sister was no where near the bullet!. what did the bullet do? bounce off the light bulb?.How could the girl miss him from such close Range?.so some how the lead girl kills her sister but it made no sense!. the lead girl then has a chance to shoot her step dad again but does she do it? No! she just drops the gun and runs away! which was stupid! because running away only makes her look more guilty!.then her step dad calls the police and sets the girl up and makes her look like the enemy even though he attacked them!. Its called self defence so why didn't the girl TALK!?. that's all she had to do she should have told the police the sick man tried to attack them and they would have listened! and then she never would have been locked up but NO she says nothing and as a result she ends up in an asylum.
this film was very annoying! because such a simple situation could have been solved and all the girl had to do was EXPLAIN!. but of course she says nothing so the stepfather gets away with it and she ends up looking like the bad guy even though the death of her sister was an accident. pretty much for the rest of the film Baby doll never talks! which is very annoying because there were allot of people that could have helped her but the girl was not even willing to save herself which made me not care about her character. this film had poor characters with no personality's. her stepfather and an orderly at the hospital were talking behind her back about lobotomising her and for some reason the girl never talks? for some reason she never tells anyone what the men are planning to do?.Later we see (baby Doll) getting a lobotomy and the film then goes to a dream world in a brothel at the asylum where Baby doll and these girls become dancers and when baby doll dances she can create a dream world and from there on the film got worse. i understood what the director was trying to do,he was trying to do a dream within a dream but it did Not work.having two false reality's was a BAD idea because we never know what's happening in real life!.
the film keeps going from dream 1 to dream 2 and then back again and its very confusing. this film was like a bad version of Alice in wonderland. there were no likable characters,the director probably wanted us to feel sorry for the girls in this film because they are bullied by the men but the problem is i didn't even know what characters were Real! and what characters were fake! so why should i care about any of them?. yes i knew the girls in her (dream) were the "good guys" but in the real world i knew nothing about these people or whether they even existed!. the only two characters i knew where actually real were (baby doll) and the (sweet pea) girl but that's it!.i knew absolutely nothing about sweet Pea's character in the (real world). just because she was nice in baby dolls (dream world) that doesn't mean its how she is in real life!. for all we know the girl could be a lunatic in real life!. (we don't know) and that's my point. sucker punch sucks so much as a story because there is never any danger!. the girls fight with Robots and dragons in the dream world because they need to collect these five items. the problem is none of it is real which ultimately makes it "pointless". the viewers never have a clue what is going on in real life because It just goes from fantasy to fantasy.
for example what would happen to baby doll if she was shot in her fantasy world?. nothing would happen! because its not REAL! and that's my point!. this film is trying to be like Inception meets Alice in wonderland and it Does Not work!. I will admit the film has some good visuals and some cool fights but it lacks in everything else. The major problem with this film is that it has (NO STORY). the whole film revolves around going from dream to dream to collect items and Fight Robots because apparently if they do that they will be "free" which is Rubbish in my opinion.the only way baby doll will be "free" is if she TALKS!. if she had of spoken to the police at the start she would have never been in the asylum to begin with!. Also the ending of the film explains nothing and is not very satisfying.
the message this film tries to send out is that girls should keep fighting until the very end to (defend themselves) but the funny thing is baby doll just (gives up) near the end.so much for fighting to the very End!.
