Sucker Punch is set in a mental institute, which is to become the home of new inmate Babydoll (Emily Browning) who is being incarcerated by her sexually abusive step-father after she accidentally killed her sister trying to save her from him. Inside, Babydoll’s imagination runs wild with giant samurai fighters and killer robots, taking her hot inmates with her for the adventures. However, the unreality of the dancing girls show that she retreats to catches up with them and Babydoll must come up with the escape plan.
Scott Glenn’s Wise Man mentor is a good additions to the film, spinning out his messages of fight or give in to the flow of destruction with prophetic charm. Bad guy anger is sincerely played by Oscar Isaac as Blue Jones, an orderly at the asylum that takes on the form of the boss of the dancing girls in Babydoll’s fantasy world. The girls themselves are everything that they aught be, delivering the nature of exploitation perfectly, with Jamie Chung as Amber, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, Jena Malone as Rocket, and Abbie Cornish as Rocket's sister, Sweet Pea.
The fight scenes are literally amazing visually, with aspects of Sin City cinematography mixing with cutting edge special effects, pitting the group against killer dragons and zombie Nazis. The DVD also comes with a few animated features bolted onto it, along with a feature on the music behind Sucker Punch, which is pretty slick.
Sucker Punch DVD review: 3.8/5
