P.S.-Sucker Punch

I saw Sucker Punch.

I was bored; I didn't care about the characters. I wasn't even impressed by the action. I love girls kicking ass, but I never found myself rooting for them through any of the fight scenes. The problem is that the story is never rooted in real life. In order for those warrior/stripper fantasies to be compelling, they must have a counterpoint in reality. (I can't believe I just typed that sentence.) Because I don't know what's happening to these tough young women in the real world, well, I have no idea who these characters are and I can't understand what's at stake. And not being able to understand what's at stake is the kiss of death for any story.

But I hear Hanna gets it right.
