To me, this movie is perfection.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

On the surface, this is your typical exploitation flick. Scantily-clad ladies kicking monsters and bad guys all over the place.The framework of the movie, however, takes everything to a different level. The opening and closing voices aren't Babydoll, which tells us that she is not the main character. Since it's Sweet Pea who speaks to us at the beginning, and it's Sweet Pea who escapes at the end, She is the main character, and the film is her story.With that in mind, all of the sequences we see throughout the film are Sweet Pea's interpretations of the mental landscape Babydoll experiences while hatching the plans, and how Sweet Pea interprets Babydoll's view of the fights while executing them.Taken in that light, the writing on this film explodes into the realm of arthouse films.

The Directors Cut version reveal much more details about the story. Dont know why they didnt made to the final cut cause was important to the understanding of the whole story. The idea dance to escape realitty, with kick ass imaginary fights is amazing. Strong female characters plus the super hot Oscar Issac.

Similar to the film "Life of Pi" expropriated with characters that act as avatars for the real world, and "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" for the finale. Sucker Punch is filled in-between with a CGI wonderland. Although seemingly anti abuse (male onto female), the context remains one of pleasuring the male ego. Disturbing because of the hopelessness and destitution of the female characters, held together by male infantile and juvenile save-the-world arcade game sequences. All the men gain their pleasures despite their eventual negative outcomes. La petite mort become la grand mort but still a climax for the men. Disturbing on many levels.

They had a good idea, but failed to execute it well. The cut scenes in the fantasy world or whatever you call it, are so out of place and way too long. They should have done those differently. If they would have stuck to their first story and fantasy it would have been fine. The movie is OK to watch once, but I wouldn't have any desire to see it a second time.
