Never give a SuckerPunch an even break!

Yep, I was excited about this one months ago when the first trailers started popping up. Guns, swords, dragons, samurais, re-animated Nazis and lovely ladies in revealing outfits. The 10 year old boy inside could hardly sit still. Well as the years have taught me, reality is a hard landing. Zack someone should have been a filter for your screenplay. My guess is you got the proverbial blank check and the result is basically one hell of a big mess. 3, count them, 3 realities to contend with (and no this is not Inception). Women who are supposed to be empowered. A heroine who isn't a heroine at all and hell it's not even her story. We don't find this out until about 8 minutes left in the movie. The only one to make it out is the one you don't even like. Absolutely no back story on any of the characters except the one who's brains get scrambled. And does John Hamm need money that bad that he'd make a cameo that barely registers? Carla Cugino as a Psychiatrist/Russian Dance Choreographer? A little more of the first reality (the Psych Ward), a lot less of the second reality (the brothel) and lot more of the 3rd reality (Samurai's, Dragons etc…). If this movie would have stuck with reality 1 and 3 it would have been one great flick. Apparently (even though I didn't catch this) every time Baby Doll is raped in reality 1 she is dancing in the 2nd and fighting bad guys in the 3rd. Luckily we don't see reality 1 and 2 during this, just 3. Zack, put the pen down and go back behind the camera and into the post production room. Yep we all got Sucker Punched by this one. Apt title.
