One of the most striking things about Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch is its brilliant use of music to help tell the story. The movie is not a musical by any stretch, (despite a veiled reference during the credits) but what it does extremely well is utilize music to propel the film's exposition and over the top action sequences. It also features some daring covers of classic songs from the 60's, 70's and 80's. Even if the film doesn't show up on your radar, open your eyes (and ears) to its soundtrack. You will be unprepared for what you hear.
