Sucker Punch

Red-eyed giants, zeppelins, disfigured Nazis, zombie soldiers, mechanized gunmen, bombs, hair creatures, and fire-breathing dragons highlight this arty, nonsensical, action-packed, star-dotted (Carla Gugino, Jon Hamm, Scott Glenn, and Oscar Isaac) fantasy film in which a hard-edged, imaginative teenager (Emily Browning) is placed in a bleak, hillside mental institution in Vermont after the death of her wealthy mother and her greedy, abusive stepfather (Gerard Plunkett) blames the murder of her younger sister her and tries to escape her nightmarish, hellish surroundings through her imagination and the thoughts of trying to help other inmates (Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jamie Chung) escape.
