Yesterday I went to the movies with some friends from work. We went and saw a film called Sucker Punch. Going into the movie I knew that it was either going to be totally awesome or completely lame. I can happily say that it was awesome. A film that is completely about the empowerment of women is definitely my type of movie. The greatest thing about it was that they showed how a girl can take control of their life in the most bizarre way. The film follows a girl who goes by the name of Babydoll. After her mothers death she and her younger sister inherit her mothers fortune. However, as most stories go the step father wasn't too pleased about this. I'm not going to mention what happens next due to the fact that it will spoil the beginning of the film and take away from what the film is trying to show but I can say that Babydolls actions make it so that her step father can put her in an insane asylum. The story then shows how Babydoll plans on escaping by going into a fantasy world where Babydoll enlists the help of a few of the girls that are in the asylum with her. It alternates between this fantasy world and another different fantasy world.
The story is awesome, and the actors do a good job of portraying their characters. Many times during the movie I found myself thinking that the fight sequences reminded me of a video game boss fight. Another plus to the movie. It had an ending that I didn't see coming at all. And although it isn't the ending you find yourself hoping for while following Babydolls journey it is still an ending to be happy about. I highly recommend this movie to anyone that likes to see chics kick some serious butt.
