What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Sucker punch.

Looks like a mindless action with titties, but it's actually a good movie. Give it a try if you haven't.

This description reminded me of Club Dread, loved that movie as a preteen/teen

I watched a lengthy video essay about this movie that really made me want to watch it. Was definitely shocked by the level of thought put into the symbolism within the film.
