Sucker Punch
The mind that brought the Watchmen and 300 to life has a new pet project hitting the big screen. Sucker Punch is the story of a young lady unjustly put in a mental institute from which she must try to escape. Now, Zach Snyder is known for his impressive visual work on film and he delivers in a big way.
This film screams of geek themes, steam-powered zombies, samurai, dragons, orcs and androids. Along it’s punchy soundtrack this movie hits actions beats from the start. It doesn’t linger on plot details, but you have to be able to fill in the blanks and enjoy the ride. You are taken through the imagination of these girls, that have to overcome a series of obstacles in order to achieve freedom, but instead of being presented with their literal challenge the movie turns it into an epic battle. The trailer below illustrates best what you can expect through most of the film.
Please take note that the conclusion is stunning and even on my best days I could not of predicted. One thing to always keep and mind is that you have all the tools you need. Always. Now get out there and do something!
