MOvie RevieW Sucker Punch Film delivers great visuals, suffers from flawed plot

By Alex Williams Daily Texan Staff

“Sucker Punch” is a film that’s going to draw tons of criticism. Af- ter all, it’s written and directed by Zack Snyder, who’s usually targeted for going after style at the expense of substance. “Sucker Punch” is Snyder’s first foray into wholly original material after getting his start in ambitious remakes and adaptations. Unfortu- nately, “Sucker Punch” isn’t as orig- inal as it thinks it is, cribbing from an endless number of films rang- ing from “Inception” to “Lord of the Rings” to “Girl, Interrupted,” as well as any number of war and women-in-prison films. The film focuses on Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who is locked in a mental institution after her stepfather goes insane and mur- ders her little sister. Baby Doll plunges herself into an elabo- rate fantasy where the asylum be- comes a burlesque house; the psy- chiatrists are the madams; the or- derlies are the pimps. As she plans her escape with some of the oth- er patients, Baby Doll’s burlesque dances take the form of elaborate, genre-themed adventures in which she and her companions must fight dragons, robots and steampunk WWI soldiers. Ever since the film’s trailer de- buted this summer, the selling point has not been the film’s con- voluted escape plot but rather Snyder’s stylish, elaborate visuals, and they’re predictably fantastic. While the mental institution and the burlesque parlor look a bit too similar, each of the film’s big ac- tion sequences carry their own looks. It helps that these lengthy set pieces take up big chunks of the film and are fluid and exciting in all the best ways. One incontestable point about “Sucker Punch” is the quality of its action, which has a blatant disre- gard for the laws of physics, espe- cially in a mostly slow-motion fight with robots aboard a speeding bul- let train.
