A sucker with no punch
It’s only once in a while that a person comes across a love-it or
hate-it film. And when one does face the inevitable, the choice is pitifully simple – you only have two poles to choose from. Predictably so, in most of these precarious cases, one pole dominates the other. Like in this case for instance, the film personifies the first word of its title, while clearly lacking the later.You would be forgiven if you presume Zack Snyder (Director) refers to his teenage journals before conceiving a script. Sucker Punch makes too much noise without a hint of tune. The characters he builds and the world around them are from his teen-hood imagination too. Take for instance Baby Doll, a 20-year-old girl who is unjustly institutionalised by her evil father.
Baby Doll (Emily Browning) quite literally has every facet of imagination. She retreats to a fantasy world where her virginity is going to be sold in five days. The trauma opens a new chapter in her mind, which takes her to Japan where she meets a wise man who puts her on a treasure hunt quest. The film is full of such tragedies.
Crystal balls are being stolen from a dragon’s throat, knives, lighters and what not. Baby Doll and her band of hookers even time-travel to a robot-filled city to disarm a bomb!!
Or maybe Snyder knows exactly what he is doing. High-graphic wannabe action-fantasy films may just make you some money.
After all 300 made half a billion!
