While preparing for the London Olympics, someone came across a large derelict warehouse, and thought that it would make a good film set. A few actors with a few days to spare were rounded up, given an overview of the plot and told to "get improvising". The two stars are for the attractive women in the cast, including one of my favourites; Michelle Ryan.
I bought this film to watch with my 9-year-old twin sons, but my born-again wife banned it as being not "age appropriate". I decided to watch it myself anyway as I thought that Sucker Punch was fun with attractive young ladies and good music. Seeing the cast, including Amy Adams, whom I like, plus Wonderwoman, who I always associate with Jaime Murray in Hustle. How wrong I was.
Firstly the "unofficial" DVD (bought in Malaysia) was over three hours long, and that is VERY long. I like long films, with the Director's Cut of Once Upon a Time in America being one of my favourite films.
Secondly, and importantly, the film is an impenetrable mess. I suffered a stroke in 2002, and occasionally get confused with things, so I thought that it might be me, but after reading other reviews, there must either be a lot of stroke-victim reviewers or it is a (unintentionally) surreal shambles.
Amy Adams was, of course, petite and lovely and even appeared naked in a bath - the tease. Elsewhere she was just a wee damsel-in-distress.
Wonderwoman did nothing, and even if she had, the wrong actress was cast. Shannon Elizabeth or Megan Fox would have been better.
Sometimes bad films are better the second time, so I may read the plot on Wikipedia and try again, but will be wary of Zack in the future.
BTW, I forgot the worst character and actor; Lex Luthor and Jesse Eisenberg, who seemed to be doing an unsuccessful audition for The Joker.
Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves.
Be afraid, be very afraid.
