I actually liked sucker punch.

Seems like alot of people didn't get the A B C B A style of story telling that it did. I get on so many arguments with IRL people over it.

A) real world beginning and end of movie. she is in an asylum.

B) In her mind she is elsewhere dancing to get items to escape.

C)her dancing is shown as boss battles because her dancing is her fighting for her life in her mind.

I still can't decide if it's a brilliant retelling of One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest or schlocky trash, but it sure is fun.

I saw it in the cinema, left with mixed feelings. I should probably rewatch it

I was surprised by the reaction to this movie. I really enjoyed it.

"Chiastic structure" is the five-dollar term.

See also Robocop.

I wasn't confused by the story, I was bored by the terrible action
