  • Suckerpunch is an exercise of style over substance. The visual flair and great action sequences disguise the fact that the plot of the film is incredible basic and nonsensical. The all female gang personifies girl power but it's Oscar Isaac who shines in this. The visual are gorgeous, we typically come to expect this from Zack Snyder. I'm a visual kinda guy, so I'm always going to find enjoyment in this...even if the story is shallow. I must say, Emily Browning looks wow in this...and this is coming from a non-heterosexual guy! Oh and the soundtrack is amazing.
