Movie Review: Sucker Punch (2011)

Synopsis: After the death of her mother, a young girl (Baby Doll) is left with almost no defense as her abusive step father attempts to rid of her and her sister in order to obtain her mother's inheritance. But nonetheless, she grabs her step father's gun and tried to shoot him, mistakenly shooting her sister instead. Baby Doll's dreadful step father sees this as a scapegoat to put her in an insane asylum. It's there she finds out her step fathers plot to have her lobotomized in five days.

Baby Doll is lead into The Theatre where she meets the therapist Dr. Vera Gorski who teaches the clinically insane girls that they have a power within their minds, through their imagination. Therein Baby Doll invisions the institution as a dance hall, Dr. Gorski as the dance instructor.

After many attempts to get Baby Doll to dance, she finally does. In doing so she discovers her imagination has transported her to a Japanese Dojo. This is where she is informed of how to escape the asylum/club, and survive. All she needs is: a map, fire, a knife, a key and a mysterious fifth object which Baby Doll is to figure out on her own.

Id love to give away more about this movie but if you're interested then you're just going to have to see for yourself. I have heard a lot of controversy over this movie. But personally, I loved it! It seems to be a messed up, tripped out version of Alice in Wonderland.

All in all I'll give this movie a 4.5 out of 5. Some may beg to differ BUT we are Opinionated Bastards.......annnddd this has been another review from yours truly, Smooterbub!!!

ENJOY!!!!!!
