Sucker Punch

It's just a bad film.Not as bad as R.I.C.C.O. but bad.It got me hooked at the beginging then totally lost me after that.The acting was way off then on then going way way way off.Do not see this movie at all costs,TRUST ME WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!The directors who are brothers are not the next HUGHES BROTHERS,who made really great films like DEAD PRESIDENTS,FROM HELL,AMERICAN PIMP,and MENACE II SOCIETY.The only person who made me watch this was the acting of Paris Campbell,who will be a great actor one day if he makes better films than this.Christina Caparoula also did a nice job for what she got.I hope THE FITTEST is 10 times better than this piece of crap!

The make believe world of fighting monsters is the fun part, yet sometimes took too long. Of the real story, well you don't know which is the real story. After a while I didn't care anymore.

J.McGee completely missed the boat on SUCKERPUNCH. Maybe the point would have been clearly to him if it were spoon fed to him by having Mike crucified on a cross at the end. I've seen tons of Urban films over the years that touch on the plight of the people that live in the inner city but very few have a soul or characters that I care about. This is one of the few films like MENACE TO SOCIETY that has as its lead a very bad and despicable character trying to seek redemption for the sins he has committed in life. SUCKERPUNCH's Mike Sullivan doesn't try to physically run from the horrors of the inner city, he instead goes back into it hoping to cleans it...and he ends up making the ultimate sacrifice for it, just as Jesus did two thousand years ago. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in seeing a very talented group of actors and filmmakers delivers a film that takes you on a harsh journey without ap

This movie has a lot of terrible characters, the story is dark and the comedy even darker. The setting is urban ghetto NYC and the music is awesome. Really cool songs. The story is pretty disturbing...the main character is a very bad thug, but then is inspired to get out of his situation, which leads to a series of things happening to him. He is a great actor. And the Russian thug is a terrifying actor. The story makes you question what you can do about your situation in life. I liked it-didn't love it-but am amazed that this is an independent movie and not made by a studio, considering how intense and action-packed it is.

For a "gansta" genre film, this was so much more enjoyable than the usual empty fare. This movie is alternately shocking and goofy, the almost cartoony humor setting you up again and again for a jab to the nose of brutality. The characters aren't quite realistic and not quite archetypal, either, giving the film the feeling of a fable. The story of Mike's attempt to redeem himself from a life of depravity was compelling, to me, and although the dialog was at times pretty rough around the edges, Paris Campbell deftly handles the material. His performance carries the film, to be sure, with touches of subtlety that make him sympathetic and human. The Christ imagery was inventive, and suggested to me that perhaps the whole film was actually an analogy for his inner struggle. The use of color really added to the sense of watching a graphic novel or comic book, and the Beatnuts' soundtrack was electric, driving the energy of the film forward from scene to scene and accenting both the fun and the sharp edges of the movie. All in all, I was impressed by Sucker Punch, even if it is rough around the edges in several places.
