Sucker Punch movie makes five girls the somewhat reluctant heroines of an epic action fantasy drawn from the main character's imagination. Baby-Doll has been wrongly confined in a mental institution, but she uses her powers of mind to escape her grim circumstances. When her dreams and fantasies no longer console her, Baby-Doll persuades four other girls to join in her attempt to escape captivity. Emily Browning stars as Baby-Doll; Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, and Abbie Cornish complete the well-chosen ensemble cast. The five of them leave no doubt about the meaning of "girl power.""Director Zack Snyder describes Sucker Punch as "Alice in Wonderland with machine guns." In the course of their adventures, the girls engage everything from samurais to serpents in fantastic warfare, drawing from a robust virtual arsenal. The five sisters-in-arms face difficult choices about how much feel willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. Wiseman, however, gives sage guidance, always suggesting that if the girls survive, their journey will set them free. Co-director Deborah Snyder brings the flight of fantasy back down to earth, saying, "In the end, it's about this girl's survival and what she needs to do to be able to cope."
