The nice and wonderful cliché of the week came from the hand of director Zack Snyder, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010), Watchmen (2009), and 300 (2007), who brings to the big screens the fantasy thriller “Sucker Punch.”

This movie takes us into incredible adventures by the imagination of a young girl whose distort the tiny line of what is reality and imagination.  Full of fantastic especial effects, this young girl and her friends face different warfare scenarios in which the best and dangerous weapon is the imagination.

Plot

After her mother’s death, Baby doll (Emily Browning) fall in a sequence of events that led her to be send to Vermont mental institution. With a pervert stepfather with lecherous intentions and the accidental shooting of her little sister, Baby Doll remains alone in this mental prison.

Her loneliness is not so far of being full of action when she starts using her dream world as the only escape from her darker reality.  Baby doll and her hot friends, I mean, wonderful friends, Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Rocket (Jena Malone), and Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), fight everything that is in their path. Soon they have to learn that in order to stay alive everything came with a sacrifice.

In General

Hot girls, bad guys, sexy outfits like extracted from Akibahara, weird and creepy soldiers, robots, swords, guns, explosions, extraordinary action…what else is need?  

“Sucker Punch” looks like a story coming from a famous Japanese comic, but it is not. It is a warfare movie full of action and pretty warrior princess. For the outfits, looks like Director Zack Snyder took a lot of elements of fantasy and mixed all in a blender. The result could not have better name “Sucker Punch.”
