Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. The Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.

A pretty average film. It tries every trick in the book to make itself more of a visual spectacle and does an okay job, but sadly it doesn't have much of a story, it's 30 to 40 minutes longer than it needs to be and the cast has very little chemistry. When the best performance in the film is by a CGI shark with a sum total of about 20 lines, that kind of speaks volumes.

***NO SPOILERS**** Lost me in the first 20 min, was actually so disappointed in this movie. Love James Gunn's previous work but this missed the mark for me by a mile, by the end of the film I felt like my time was completely wasted. There was only a handful of redeeming moments but that's all dwarfed by poor writing and horrible, horrible forced jokes you'd expect from a early 2000s dollar store comedy. DC is truly making it hard for fans to enjoy these movies. Some Characters shine and some have their heads exploded by not just Amanda Waller but the poor writing of the creative team. Rent this on sale only if you NEED to see it, but imo this falls below even Wonder Woman 1984 so be warned. 2/10

started off slow but towards the end got better. l loved this movie but storyline was abit silly but l still enjoyed it. Hardly Quinn was great in this movie and the other characters were good too. If u like first couple of Sucide squad movie then u will enjoy this one.
