SUICIDE SQUAD

Plot:

Amanda Waller (Davis) heads a secret program under the authorization of the government that gives her control of a group of some of the most heinous criminals that are kept in a secret and highly secured prison. she wants to utilize them for the kamikaze (suicide) missions that the government doesn't want their hailed superheros to tackle and also without a trace of their involvement. She manages to control and keep them in line with the threat of setting off a charge that has been implanted in their neck and with the promise of prison sentence leniency if they complete and return alive from their assignments. The team of misfit criminals are Deadshot (Smith), Boomerang (Courtney), Diablo (Hernandez), killer Croc (Akinnuoye-Agbaje), Harley Quinn (Robbie) who is still obsessed with her crazed and deranged boyfriend The Joker (Leto) and June Moone who doubles as Enchantress (DeLevingne) whose brother has come to get  her with regards to her helping in creating the ultimate weapon to takeover the human race. Hard nose Rick Flag (Kinnaman) who is also in love with June Moone runs the point on the missions over the superhero convicts with hopes of saving the world and getting his true love back from the grips of Enchantress.


Reel Talk:

First off DC Comic movies do not compare to Marvel Comic movies just as the magazines did not that I read as a kid, so please do not go into their movies looking to make a comparison. With that being said I will say that Suicide Squad, which is not your typical superhero team had me going into the screening clueless. I can't say that I had major expectation because I had never read any of the comic books with regards to them but they turned out to be a very exciting bunch. The characters are colorful and some even sort of charming but Jared Leto as The Joker and Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn stole the scenes in this movie. I know some may say what about Will Smith but he pretty much puts in his normal Will Smith performance, not to say that is bad but it is just the same persona. Is it a great movie? No not at all but it is also by no means a bad movie either, it is much better than a certain movie that recently dropped out of the DC camp...LOL! It is good enough to shell out the bucks to walk out the theater feeling good.
