8/10
Everything I hoped it would be.
9 August 2021
The movie opens on a reflection in a puddle of water, and after finishing The Suicide Squad 2021, I understand why. This is the exact opposite of Suicide Squad 2016. A reflection, so to speak.

Because that movie was one of the worst movies ever made.

James Gun is certainly a clever writer with some hard hitting wit and sense of wicked fun, that's almost impossible to mistake, the movie actually manages to become the Suicide Squad cinematic event we all deserved, all those years ago.

Yet, I didn't even realize it was R-rated until someones face exploded in a gory close up. This movie really gets in your face, but in a good way.

There are tons of nice and exquisitely cheesy, but wholesomely heartfelt character moments, that give every last one of Suicide Squaders an opportunity to shine. And shine they do!

This is a horrifically fun movie with some great subversion. Expect the unexpected and enjoy the hell out of The Suicide Squad!

But it's not for the squeamish. This is a hard R rating. Stay away kids!
