Product description

Product Description

Sucker Punch is an epic action fantasy that takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary.

She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls-the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish)-to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac), Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino) and the High Roller (Jon Hamm).

Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey--if they succeed--will set them free.

This Triple Play edition contains two Blu-ray discs--one containing the theatrical cut, one containing an extended cut.

Amazon.co.uk Review

Sucker Punch has Moulin Rouge's freewheeling disrespect for genre, cramming dragons, zombie steampunk World War I German soldiers, robotic samurai, military helicopters, and gun-toting, scantily clad superbabes into a series of hyperviolent fantasies that spring from the undulations of a schizoid madhouse inmate. Sucker Punch also has The Matrix's disdain for the laws of physics, as svelte young women in tight clothes leap, spin, twirl, kick, and crash in slow-motion spectacles that only vaguely resemble how bodies actually move in space. On top of that, Sucker Punch has a video game's disinterest in characters, narrative, sensible dialogue, or sense of any kind, really--anything that might get in the way of the next spasm of bullets and sword slashes. A troubled girl nicknamed Baby Doll (the preposterously glossy Emily Browning, whose china-doll looks previously appeared in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events), traumatized by her impending lobotomy, reimagines her asylum as a hybrid cabaret/brothel. She and her just as whimsically monikered fellow inmates (played by Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jamie Chung) use their feminine wiles and some kick-ass gyrations to escape… but things go very, very wrong. The relentless eye-candy comes from director Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), whose interest in decorative grime and glistening skin seems to short-circuit everything else. But there's no denying that eye-candy does abound. Also featuring Scott Glenn in the Yoda-esque role of "Wise Man." --Bret Fetzer

Don't believe the bad reviews.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2011

A lot of reviewers have simply dismissed this as misogynistic or garbled and they are all wrong.

Firstly I will address the idea that it is misogynistic;

The fact is this film celebrates the strength and courage of its central character and shows women can be strong, serious and still embrace their sexuality. Sounds like a cop out?

Consider, Snyder had many, many opportunities to show gratuitous "sexy" images of these women, but even in the brothel/club scenes, there were no sexy dances, no pouting come ons and throughout the whole film there was only one "money shot" focusing on the thighs of one protagonist and, as I will explain there was a very clear reason for that.

In the brothel-come-club, the women tended to wear what you would expect dancers, in the sixties, to wear when rehearsing. Since, ostensibly, dancing was a main focus of their job this can hardly be deemed gratuitous, especially when comparing those costumes to modern day "dance" costumes. No lingerie, no thongs and no white panties, these were work clothes. As I pointed out, not one sexy dance was shown here, not even in the background.

We are shown the action sequences instead of dances. Dances which, we are lead to believe, are so sexual and enthralling that it renders men watching helpless and open to manipulation. Another avoidance of easy gratuitous sex.

In those action scenes five women feature, but only one of them, "BabyDoll" is treated in an "over the top" sexual manner, which we will come to in a moment. The costumes of all the other women, while overtly sexual, showing cleavage and legs are not typical exploitative designs. They are mostly dark, no shiny nor glittery surfaces, and quite substantial, not flimsy. No lace, no dominatrix accoutrements. These, like a dark reflection of the dance clothes are somewhat revealing, but never-the-less, work clothes. Neither are the women presented as weak in any way, these are often bone-crunching fights, at least two women taking solid punches and shaking them off to keep fighting. Quite simply they are presented as the female equivalent of the all-male Spartan fighters in 300, except with less revealing clothing and more modern weapons.

Then we come to BabyDoll in these actions scenes. Is it a coincidence that Snyder puts the tiniest member of the cast in a very revealing sexy, Japanese-style school-girl uniform, complete with blonde bangs, and then gives her the only "money shot", a close-up on her thighs, in the whole film? Though she goes on to show that she is just as, if not more, kick-arse than the other women, this image is so "over-the-top" as to be an obvious ploy by Snyder. He wants the male viewer to feel uncomfortable. There is no denying that Emily Browning is an attractive young woman, 23 at the time of filming, but by dressing her up to look like an helpless little girl he asks the question; "If you find her sexy looking like this, then what is the difference between you and the creepy step-Father?" It is an emotion trap for the male viewer.

At no other point in the film are there any other "money shots". No shots, close up or otherwise, focusing on cleavage, legs or backsides and no pouting come ons. On the surface the film is open to being interpreted as sexist, but a closer look shows it is quite the opposite.

Secondly; I'll deal with the idea of the "garbled plot". I have to admit, the first viewing did leave me with some questions, but not thinking that the plot was bungled in any way. Here's my take, after some thought. I've tried to keep it as spoiler-free as possible.

The whole film takes place in a characters imagination, it is the story of her recovery from the loss of her sanity. Right from the start we open on a stage set, indicating that what we are seeing is not the "real world". This is a motif that is repeated throughout the film. In this first scene we are shown the cause of her insanity, from here we are taken to an asylum. Clearly this is a nightmare vision of an asylum and not real. This is possibly the part of the film that is closest to reality, but everything here is is not just run-down it is decaying. This fantasy, in my opinion, represents the central characters admittance to herself that she has mental problems. The first step on the road to recovery. At a crucial point in the asylum, when one of the characters is about to be lost, we are transported to the brothel reality, which in many ways physically reflects the asylum. This delays the loss of this character and can be seen as representing the sexual abuse of the main character by her step-Father. From here we are again transported, on several occasions, to the worlds where the action takes place. These scenes simply represent the main character, literally, fighting her demons. In other words they could well be therapy sessions. After several "fights" the main character is brought to a point where she can "escape". How better to escape an asylum than regaining your sanity? And then we are shown the ending, with "still some way to go" along the road to full recovery.

Plot sorted.

All in all, a film with depth, mixed in with over the top, CGI, kick-arse action. What more could you want?

Do yourself a favour, buy this now!

Punched 'me' in the gut at the end.

Sad, cruel, and also pertinently excellent. Painful moments, not for everyone I suppose, but a resolve that leaves you thinking about it.

The effects of the action scenes were brilliant. They all had an element of gothic style which was right up my street. How the storyline tied with the action scenes was seriously cool.

I read a few reviews after watching, and many mentioned that the film was panned by critics. Hence it must not have had widespread exposure. I certainly had never heard of it before I saw it on Amazon Prime Video. For that reason I was dubious about watching it for a long time.

The trailer was brilliant, and from that I should have given it a watch ages ago. Noting it was leaving Prime Video soon, I was in the mood, so gave it a go. Am still emotionally with it now.

Five go Mentally Insane in Vermont. Or Do They?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2011
Verified Purchase
Sucker Punch has such an extraordinary trailer that there ought to be an Oscar category for trailers, just to reward it. That may be the only recognition the film ever gets, because no full length feature film in history could live up to that kind promise, just in terms of sheer bombast. And, judging by the initial critical reaction, nor has this one got a Babydoll's chance in a House for the Mentally Insane of getting any industry recognition: it's going down like a burning zeppelin with the critics. A "crass women's penitentiary picture reconceived for today's manga- and vidgame-savvy crowd" says one (presumably not manga- and "vidgame" savvy) critic; "built so as to dispense with the need for narrative logic" says another. A pity, because I think the critics are wildly wrong here. With any luck the public will have a different view, because Sucker Punch almost lives up to its trailer.

It could be the greatest fantasy motion picture since The Matrix. It could also be the greatest disaster since The Hindenburg. In either case the ringside seat is a scorcher.

Let's see, then.

In fairness, the film does miss a couple of the trailer's features: There's no Led Zeppelin on the soundtrack, for one thing. Nonetheless, Zack Snyder uses every trick in the book. It's beautifully shot. Every frame is a gem. The technology - there's more green screen here than in Sky Captain & The World Of Tomorrow- is sympathetic, clever and impressive. It's artistic. It oozes style. It is in glorious two dimensions.

There's a little preamble which winds up in an all-girl asylum before things descend impossibly into a psychotic imaginarium of kick-ass ninja dolls, samurai, monster robots, fire-breathing dragons, sepia-tinted Nazi zeppelins and crash-&-burning bi-planes: yea: all of the above. Amongst it all, statuesque, like a serene core at the eye of the storm is super-cool Scott Glenn, a multiple personality avatar dispensing one-line platitudes to his jailbait harem as if the structural integrity of universe required it. He intones Alexander Hamilton's aphorism: "Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything".

Sucker Punch, indeed, stands for everything. Anything, even. So much does it play like a seventeen-year-old's wet dream that it is tempting to write it off as one.

It would appear many critics have been duly tempted. Their major complaints: Lack of wit. No plot. Wafer-thin characters. Gratuitous girlitude. The last two, sure - but, come on: the context is comic book bravura. What did you expect: Kurosawa? Yes, parts of it are like stages of a video game, they are meant to be. Sucker Punch borrows from The Matrix, but repays with interest.

But lack of wit? This is a brilliantly funny picture. And no plot? Au contraire: that's a different story. In their haste to write this off, I fear the critics have forgotten to pay attention. Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury: before you bemoan a lack of intellectual endeavour, use some of your own: at least have a go at trying to puzzle things out. And there are some puzzles, if you only look for them: narrative peculiarities which Snyder has gone to some lengths to achieve. It's only fair to suppose he did this for a reason.

Firstly, the opening scene: pay attention. We open in a vaudeville theatre. The velvet curtains open on a set that is a young girl's bedroom. We see a blonde girl sitting on her bed with her back to us. Take note: This is a theatrical set of some description. It's a play. It's not real. The camera tracks in and around the girl on the bed, and as it does so the set resolves into an actual house. Then we see the girl's face. It is Babydoll (Emily Browning). Note how we are introduced to Babydoll: on a stage. It is important.

Babydoll's mother is dead. An Evil Stepfather circles like a vulture. He tries to have his way with Babydoll. She resists. He locks the door, and turns to Babydoll's little sister. Babydoll tries to intervene, but little sister winds up dead. Again, remember this. Look out for parallels with other characters later in the movie.

Babydoll is framed for her sister's murder and corruptly declared insane. She is institutionalised and maliciously scheduled for a quick lobotomy. Again, note how this happens: To a reworking of Eurhythmics' Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This), a Black Maria rolls up the hill to "Lennox House", an institution "FOR THE MENTALLY INSANE" - or just of sweet dreams? Warders and orderlies leer. Babydoll is given a tour. She winds up in a common room full of crazies called "the theatre". At this point there is a sudden and jarring transition from Asylum to Bordello. Suddenly we are in a Burlesque Club of some sort - where did the Asylum go? We meet a showgirl Sweetpea, during a rehearsal. She breaks off, mid scene, aghast at the notion that the production should contemplate her character, an orphan, being sent to an asylum for a lobotomy. Again, note this scene.

These are hardly subtle clues. Yet still this secret seems to have eluded Hollywood's finest: Is this film really about Babydoll? It is not. Whose world is imaginary and whose is real?

Sucker Punch is certainly not perfect - it's 20 minutes too long, and for a film featuring five bombshells in their knickers, it is oddly sexless. Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac) is a bloodless villain. But as far as science fiction/fantasy goes, it is so much more sophisticated and imaginative than Avatar, The Last Airbenderor utterly pitiful Mars Needs Moms as indeed to seem like Kurosawa. It is stylish. It is witty. It has more bombast than Elton John's birthday. It has an attention span of about thirty seconds.

A Matrix, therefore, for the YouTube generation. God forbid that they make a sequel.

Sucker Punch is one of the movies you either Love it or Hate it. Its not what was originally envisioned, but its flashy, artistic and cool. Has a lot of mixed scenery because its all meant as a coping purpose for the girls to escape an Asylum for the Mentally ill.

Best suggestion I can make is to go in and think nothing of what you are about to watch. Just listen to the plot only, listen tot he music, the ambience and take in some epic visuals.

Acabo de recibir esta edición. En el nombre del artículo de amazon pone Extended Cut Reino Unido, pero es la de Holanda y Bélgica.

De todas formas para el caso es el mismo, ya que como en la UK incluye el disco con la versión cinematográfica con doblaje en español de España, y otro disco con la versión extendida en versión original y con subtítulos en español de España. Con lo cual para mí la compra ha sido perfecta, porque era el contenido en discos que quería.

Es un Slip cover que viene debajo con la misma carátula.

También te dan la opción de comprarla a otros vendedores externos, pero en ese caso no puedo confirmar que sea la misma edición. Yo he optado por la opción prime.

Sucker Punch... UN VERO PUGNO A SORPRESA!
Reviewed in Italy on 2 August 2012
Verified Purchase
Questo film, secondo me, è stato il più incompreso degli anni 00. Massacratissimo dalla critica, è un film forse un po' troppo visionario, o meglio "malato", quanto atipico, per essere un film "per tutti"... la scelta poi di privare al film di 17 minuti per raggiungere il PG-13, quindi un pubblico più vasto, è assai deplorevole... specie se poi hanno quelle piccole aggiunte per far comprendere meglio un film già un po' "difficile" di suo. Il risultato, quindi, non è stato uno dei più felici, in termini economici...
Ma allora perchè ADORO questo film? Proprio per le motivazioni che ho detto sopra: ultra-visionario, malato, atipico, un film nonpertutti! Se poi ci aggiungiamo anche un bell'impianto home theatre... beh, cosa chiedere di più? Una gioia per gli occhi e per le orecchie!
Zack Snyder Rocks!

E ringrazio sentitamente Amazon, che è riuscita a farmelo vedere con un giorno d'anticipo! :)
