It has some great ideas and some equally great actions sequences, but ultimately Sucker Punch is held back by a poorly implemented plot and equally poor acting. That said, if you like hot ladies, you'll probably enjoy this.
Sucker Punch is a strange film, mainly because I can’t really gauge what kind of film it is. Everything about the marketing for it portrayed a straight action film, but in the end it is much more than that, and not always in a good way.
Bit of an older one this week, and probably most everyone will have seen this but thought I’d write a little something about it anyway.
Guy Ritchie is one of those directors when you kind of know what you are going to get, though his Sherlock Holmes taking him in a slightly new and more exciting direction. Snatch, RocknRolla, Revolver; all the high-octane, gangster filled, gun ridden, cursing and maiming that anyone could ask for. Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is where this all began, being Guy Ritchie’s first full length feature, and it is here that we see the origins for the majority of his later films, both good and bad. It also introduced to the world two titans of the film industry, Jason Statham and former footballer Vinnie Jones! These great casting decisions aside, Lock Stock is actually a great film, and well worth watching (if you haven’t already seen it).
