SUCKER PUNCH
MAX MANUS
Zack Snyder made an impact with 300 scantily clad Spartans destined to lose in battle against Persians. After the success of the film 300, he followed that formula with the release of Sucker Punch—only this time, he subtracted 295 men, turned them into women warriors in skimpy clothes and threw them into a fantasy world. Emily Browning plays Babydoll, a girl who is locked in an insane asylum after she loses everything she knows. Determined to escape, she rallies four other ridiculously attractive girls to fight for their freedom. Given instructions from a wise man (Scott Glenn), Babydoll leads her followers in a quest crafted from her imagination that will ultimately liberate them from their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac) and Madame Gorski (Carla Gugino).
Max Manus’ name reached international recognition with the release of this gripping war film, which is based on the true story of a Norwegian war hero. Directed by Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg, the movie captures patriotism through a single man’s journey to liberate his country during World War II. A displaced saboteur (Aksel Hennie) finds his way home to Norway during Nazi Germany occupation. Finding similarly outraged countrymen, they form an independent fighting force, Rognes Organization. Max becomes a target for the Gestapo commander Siegfried Wolfgang Fehmer. As the war drags on and lives are lost, Max struggles to perform his operation and holds himself responsible for the lives of his colleagues. —Lizzy Duffy
