Punchy?

Sucker Punch (2011)

Director Zack Snyder brings some crazy action to the big screen with a cast including Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone and Carla Gugino. A young woman is sent to a mental hospital after being blamed for the death of her sister.

There is a lot of talk about this film being misogynistic but I think if anything it is shining a light on a misogynistic world rather than promoting those views itself. My real problems with the film come from the script which is really a confused mess rather than something deeper hidden in confusion. It does seem a bit like the plot is an excuse for some crazy over the top action sequences and those are not bad but do rely far too much on CGI for my personal taste. The film is probably worth watching once just to see some of those crazy action sequences but beyond that it is pretty disposable.

3/5
