Suicide Squad (2016)
7/10
A Welcomed Splash of Color and Comedy in a Dark and Broody DC Universe
9 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Suicide Squad "A secret government agency led by Amanda Waller recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat in exchange for clemency."

The movie throws you into the action from the start and gives you the run down of each character and how they ended up in government custody. From there it's somewhat of a mixture of stop and go when it comes to action and plot. A lot of DC fan service and another notch cutting deeper into the DCEU (DC Extended Universe). First off, Will Smith's Deadshot was pretty awesome, I had my doubts at first. Margot Robbie as and Jai Courtney delivered as Harley Quinn and Captain Boomerang, the rest of the squad "served their purpose" as far as plot goes. Jared Leto channeled a lot of different portrayals of the Joker, from the Jester to the Gangster and the a little splash of Anarchist, definitely looking forward for more of that!

Cara Delevingne's portrayal as Enchantress delivered as an overarching threat and made the stakes of the story believable. Two very well executed Justice League cameos served up as a little hype and anticipation to what Justice League will dish up in 2017. The post credit scene will give DC Fans some more hype to enjoy.

Definitely would like to see if they release a Director's Cut and see what the other version of the film looked like.
