Sucker Punch

A great big spectacle - it holds the attention and it's exciting, steampunk zombie nazis and all. But as visually striking as the film is, and as vividly realised, it's as if some more subcutaneous imaginative layer is lacking - I'm not sure whether it's in the vision or the execution - something that would have given Sucker Punch an extra dimension that would have raised it from the level of 90 minutes' simple entertainment to the something more that it seems to aspire towards.
