Sucker Punch

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

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.

No it's not the worst hood-movie made but it's hardly a good one and I don't believe that anyone who looked at this objectively could ever give it over a 6 tops, even at that I question your judgment. Anyways.

The lead guy in the first 15 minutes is the biggest piece of crap existed on the screen more or less, he drugs and kidnaps young runaway girls and sells them to a big time pimp.

That's his job, so when he get shot it's what any decent person would want to happen to him.

However he doesn't die but instead he wakes up and finds God, which could have made a decent idea for a movie I guess if it was made by people who knew what they were doing which they don't.

More or less every character in the movie are just plain horrible people that you only sit and wait and hope will happen something really bad to.

I'm not gonna spoil anything but yeah despite having occasional moments where it appears to be going the right way it ends of being a very jumbled mess of a movie.

Plot is slightly reminiscent of BLOODY STREETZ aka BLOODY CRISIS but that movie is a masterpiece in comparison with this, and that movie is not a masterpiece however a far better choice to watch than this.

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.

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.
