Sucker Punch

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.

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.

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

Sucker punch I first saw I was pretty young so I didn't understand all the details in the movie but now that I watch it again there quite a few messages in the movie of spiritually healing and making good decisions. Christine is a good actress very convincing in her role. Paris Campbell rocked it as Usually I always get excited to see him preform especially after I saw him in the Level. I always saw a great future for that brother. Ghetto dawg 2 wasn't my favorite but definitely a solid role played by Paris again. He consistently keeps me believing he is who he is portraying. Love that guy! Noel out! Peace.

I loved this movie. The cover image makes it look like a mediocre gangster film, but it's really great. Here's what I like about it: First of all, the acting was really good. Paris Campbell, who plays the main character (Mike Sullivan), is a really really great actor. I have no idea why he isn't famous yet. And he portrays a complex character who is tortured by his own past sins, and is trying to do the right thing. He is caught up in a world where there are no good guys, and he is trying to save a prostitute who has no interest in his good will. Mike is definitely a Christ figure in the film, and the religious metaphor is subtle but clear. I like the fact that in the end, good intentions do not necessarily mean a happy ending, and sometimes there are no good choices. This is a dark film, so if you're looking for a cookie cutter, predictable action film, this isn't the movie for you. But if you want to see an interesting, real film that has a spiritual side, you should check out Sucker Punch.
