I liked Sucker Punch. I went to see it for the effects, not the story, and wasn’t disappointed at all.
I would correct the author, however, in that the main characters weren’t “brothel dwellers” but teenage girls in an asylum, one of which (the lead character) was there as part of a frame-up and scheduled to get a lobotomy.
That's what I thought. I figured he was talking about some other movie.
