Sucker Punch [2011]

Plot: A young girl (Baby Doll) is locked away in a mental asylum by her abusive stepfather where she will undergo a lobotomy in five days time. Faced with unimaginable odds, she retreats to a fantastical world in her imagination where she and four other female inmates at the asylum, plot to escape the facility. The lines between reality and fantasy blur as Baby Doll and her four companions, as well as a mysterious guide, fight to retrieve the five items they need that will allow them to break free from their captors before it's too late...

Movie starts off with a great opening scene and doesn't stop the whole way through. The beginning of the movie sets the president for the rest of the movie and how it's flow will be and in my opinion the director/producer did a great job on hooking you on from the beginning.

The film stars Emily Browning as Baby Doll, a young woman committed to a mental institution after assaulting her stepfather with a pistol. Although she's watched closely by the administrator, Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), and his resident psychiatrist, Dr. Gorski (Carla Gugino), Baby Doll soon meets fellow inmates Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), and Amber (Jamie Chung), and forms a tenuous friendship as their world transforms from an insane asylum into a brothel where they're the main attraction. But when Baby Doll discovers that the High Roller (Jon Hamm) is coming in five days to perform a lobotomy/ take her innocence, the five of them hatch a plan with the help of the Wise Man (Scott Glenn) to acquire a series of items which in theory should help her escape to freedom. 

This is where the movie goes into a lot of CG scenes and you will love it, the slow motion scenes is amazing, the gun/samurai  fights are amazing and the Nazi-Zombies scene brings you back to Call of Duty: World At War. If you love video games then you will love watching these amazing scenes unfold in front of you and even if you don't play video games this film will still hook you on the amazing CG scenes.

 

When baby doll goes into her dance sequence is when every action scene starts off like a video game like its the next level to the game with some aspiring words from the films wise man. The story is a bit off at times but that's what the director/producer was going for is to make you talk about the movie even after you left the theater. This will make for good conversation as you try to figure out some of the holes in the film.

Overall I would recommend this movie for anyone that loves video games or anyone that loves fantasy movies and/or the occasional movie watcher.
