MovieStinger: The second video-game style movie released this month, Sucker Punch shares many parallels to Battle: Los Angeles, but it’s going to be tougher to defend director/co-writer Zack Snyder’s latest motion picture. Sucker Punch hits you with Snyder’s trademark one-two combo of spectacular action and stylized cinematography, but much like Battle: LA, its weak spots are the dialogue and the plot. Whereas Battle: LA didn’t seem to try to go beyond anything more profound than its “aliens-here!-nuff-said” backbone, Sucker Punch winds up and takes a wild swing… and misses. It’s a valiant effort and might look good as it’s happening, but when you do that, you fall hard. It’s no wonder why the film wasn’t screened for critics.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
