Movies that feel likeSucker Punch (2011)

A young woman, institutionalized by her abusive stepfather, retreats into a vivid fantasy world where she envisions a plan to escape. Gathering a group of fellow inmates, she embarks on a quest to collect five mystical items, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.

If you loved Sucker Punch, the closest films we have are Along with the Gods: The Last 49 Days (2018), Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) and Underworld (2003). All three share Sucker Punch's kinetic and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Unstoppable (2010).
