One of December’s new movies on Netflix is a 2011 classic from director Zack Snyder: « Sucker Punch, » which is available to stream now.
A 2011 classic from director Zack Snyder is among the new movies on Netflix available to stream this month. We’re referring, of course, to Sucker Punch — a trippy, visual kaleidoscope that, whatever else you might point out about it, is very, very Snyder. Which is to say, it’s a big and brash movie, loaded with beautiful women and special effects. And critics can’t stand it. The movie stars Emily Browning as a young woman named Babydoll. And it currently has a pretty abysmal 22% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. One random fact I will point out: I’m a huge Beatles fan, and not only does this movie have a pretty killer soundtrack. There’s a version of The Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows on it that I was thoroughly impressed by. It’s a one-of-a-kind deep cut from the Fab Four, closes out the album Revolver, and the version for Sucker Punch is given a rocking modern sheen that I very much appreciated. Anyway, back to the movie. From Netflix’s official summary: “Trapped in an abusive,1950s-era asylum, a teen plans an escape through a mesmerizing dance that conjures up lavish and violent worlds of fantasy.
