'Sucker Punch' an appalling piece of trash
Sucker Punch Opened Friday at Rave, Quality 16, Brighton Review by Jeff Meyers of the Metro Times Grade: D
Spastic, bombastic, and incoherent, Zach Snyder's "Sucker Punch" is a baroque, highly polished chunk of pop culture vomit. A nonsensical mash-up of "Shutter Island," "The Lord of the Rings," "I, Robot" and "Kill Bill," it doesn't even have the decency to have fun with its cartoonish obsessions, instead delivering a somber, moody, metafictional melodrama that that thinks it's about female empowerment but instead has all the philosophical heft of Maxim Magazine.
