Figuring they're all expendable, a U.S. intelligence officer decides to assemble a team of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains for a top-secret mission. Now armed with government weapons, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and other despicable inmates must learn to work together. Dubbed Task Force X, the criminals unite to battle a mysterious and powerful entity, while the diabolical Joker launches an evil agenda of his own.

Critics Consensus

Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren't enough to save the disappointing end result from a muddled plot, thinly written characters, and choppy directing.

DC Comics' latest addition to their burgeoning cinematic universe fails in several rather spectacular ways.

For all its cast and crew's inglorious chest-thumping, Suicide Squad is a failed, forced exercise in - of all things! you had one job! - ensemble chemistry.

Based on the screening I attended, I can attest that audiences seemed to genuinely enjoy the jokes and get swept up in the action sequences.

Suicide Squad isn't offensive or scandalous: its problem is simpler and more obvious. It fails, shot by shot, to become the film it promises from its very premise. [Full review in Spanish]

3/5

“Suicide Squad” is a case of two hemispheres of tone and purpose that become problematic in cohesion and comprehension.

This Movie is interesting. Just like IT Chapter Two, it does a lot of things right, and A LOT of things wrong. Positives: The Joker, Harley, Deadshot, Boomerang, Style, Colorful, Amanda Waller. Mixed: Katana, Killer Croc, Rick Flag, The Action, The Comedy, the Music. Negatives: Enchantress, Joker’s Screentime, Joker’s Purpose, Editing, LOTS of things left on the Cutting Room Floor, Scene’s Cut, Movie lies to your face sometimes. Yeah…this Movie out of Ten would be a 5/10. I think most of the characters are the Best Versions of those Characters, and there’s some good action, some decent comedy, and some fun too be had, but there was CLEARLY a better version of this Movie, and it was clear that what we got, was NOT that. And I was extremely disappointed with how little The Joker was in this Movie. I think Jared Leto is easily the Best Joker, but my guy is in this Movie for 10 Minutes, he’s like the Third Main Villain. It sucks they did that to Jared Leto, and The Joker Character.

While it's not a perfect movie, it has style, it's cool, and it's fun. All things that Man of Steel did not have. It's been done better since, but still, introducing a group of bad mf's with cool abilities always just feels great to watch.

Since I don't know any of the characters it was confusing. The stunts, music & special effects were good.
