Sucker Punched to the Past

SUCKER PUNCH is like INCEPTION but made by a film student - all stylized with random video game visuals and an ending with unnecessary VO that overtly explains how sincere the filmmaker and the story is. I get it's appeal but I liked INCEPTION way, way, way better. Way better. Funny thing is, I made my version of SUCKER PUNCH in film school called 3 WORD KILL. I guess I'm becoming an old fart.
