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

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.

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.

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.

I thought it was a pretty decent low budget crime flick. The filmmakers did some things not normally seen in movies with the characters. There are a lot worse movies out there. Paris Campbell was the highlight. This movie prompted my interest to see other projects he has been in. His performance in Ghetto Dawg 2 (very stupid name) was outstanding. It was a better film. Will Sierra, the pimp, also showed a lot of talent. Considering the crap that mainstream Hollywood is making these days, I have found myself more and more interested in watching lower budget indy films. And if you are a hiphop fan, some classic artists played supporting roles - Greg nice, The Beatnuts & Leaders Of The New School.
