Baby Doll soon befriends Sweetpea (Cornish), Rocket (Malone), Blondie (Hudgens) and Amber (Chung) and enlists their help as she begins her epic quest to escape the asylum before the High Roller (Jon Hamm) arrives. The second level exists in Baby Doll’s imagination as she turns the hospital into an old fashioned strip club/brothel, full of lingerie-clad dancers and moustachioed goons with Blue now a pimp and Carla Gugino’s well meaning Dr Gorski their madam. The first level, presumably real life, begins with a virtuoso montage set to a thumping cover of Sweet Dreams showing Baby Doll (Browning) accidentally shoot her younger sister and get shipped off to the insane asylum by her evil stepfather, who pays off the sinister guard Blue (Oscar Isaac) to have Baby Doll lobotomised in five days time.
Much like it’s smarter, grown up cousin Inception, Sucker Punch takes place in three different levels of dream-reality.
The extra material may not necessarily make this a better film but it certainly adds to the overall experience of Snyder’s teenage video game fantasy of a movie. Committed to a mental institution by her abusive step father, Baby Doll retreats inside her own imagination, hatching a plan to escape from the hospital before the lobotomist arrives.Ĭritically lambasted upon it’s theatrical release, Zack Snyder’s ambitious Sucker Punch reaches Blu Ray with a new extended cut, including 18 minutes of extra footage that flesh out a few action scenes, clear up a couple of contentious points and add some extra violence that was cut to help the film obtain it’s PG13 rating for cinematic release.
