The first five minutes of Zack Snyder's
Sucker Punch have been made available. Starring Abbie Cornish, Vanessa Hudgens, Jena Malone, Emily Browning and Jamie Chung, the epic action fantasy takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality.
In the 1960's,
a 20-year-old girl nicknamed "Babydoll" (
Emily Browning) is institutionalized by her stepfather at the
Lennox House for the Mentally Insane after she is blamed for the death of her younger sister. Blue Jones (
Oscar Isaac), the asylum's orderly, is bribed by Babydoll's stepfather into faking the signature of the asylum's psychiatrist, Dr. Vera Gorski (
Carla Gugino), to have Babydoll lobotomized so she can neither inform the authorities of what really happened nor reclaim her recently deceased mother's fortune. As she enters the institution, she notices details of its layout and security.
In the five days before the surgeon (
Jon Hamm) arrives, Babydoll retreats to a fantasy world in which she is a newly-arrived virgin in a brothel owned by the mob. She befriends four other dancers—Amber (
Jamie Chung), Blondie (
Vanessa Hudgens), Rocket (
Jena Malone) and her older sister, Sweet Pea (
Abbie Cornish). Dr. Gorski appears here as the girls' dance instructor and tells Babydoll that her virginity will be sold to a client known as "The High Roller" who will be arriving in five days.
| “ | If you want to understand Snyder's central narrative gambit, it's right there in the title. He gives us what we want (or what we think we want, or what he thinks we think we want): Absurdly fetishized women in teeny little skirts, gloriously repetitious fight sequences loaded with plot coupons, pseudo-feminist fantasies of escape and revenge. Then he yanks it all back and stabs us through the eyeball. - Andrew O'Hehir
