Sucker Punch ~ Just some eye candy really

Sucker Punch is a awesome on bringing of hot girls and crazy visuals and action scenes. If your a fan of slow motion, camera pans that move around the scene, videogame like sets and hot girls, well then you will like this movie.

However if your looking for some character development or plot to enjoy, well, this is where the film lacks a little. As it doesn't use its concept to full extant.

The film opens with a music montage which is really quite well done with epic close up and some really stylish shots. Basically, Baby Doll is blame for the death of her sister and is sent to a insane prison because her Step Farther wants to get the money from their moms will. (Which was meant for the daughters). It turns out this prison is really a strip club of some sort, and Baby Doll must dance which allows her to enter the world of fantasy. How it all works is quite weird.

One of the things that disappointed me is that the fantasy world has nothing to do with the real world. So in one part of the film Baby Doll has to dance to subdue the mayor so another one of the girls can grab his lighter. But in the fantasy world they have to invade a castle, and battle a dragon to get this fire. It's like the film just wanted to switch genres.

It would have been cool if they where able to combine the worlds to fit a little bit better. Oh yeah, in the fantasy world the girls are pretty super badass and can block bullets with their swords, so you never really worry about them because they are like gods.

Anyway, the plot makes sense if you don't think about it. I still recommend seeing this film however, just for the amazing action scenes and visuals. There is a train scene that is pretty awesome where the camera does a one take move in this epic battle filled with slow mo and craziness.
