MOVIE REVIEW - The Suicide Squad (2021)

When I was dosed off with Suicide Squad in 2016, this new version by James Gunn got me interested in the characters and unseen twist of events. James Gunn's Suicide Squad is altogether wickedly funny, colorful, and more exciting than its predecessor.

The initial team that we meet at the beginning were a distraction to what we're really being served throughout the movie. But their features are not to be ignored as they have great unique abilities and served a purpose to the real ones. My personal fave from that team is TDK. His detachable limbs, naming him The Detachable Kid is one crazy literal sh*t that ended soon.

In the real Suicide Squad, I think Gunn has provided equal screen time for all the characters. Idris Elba, John Cena, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman and the others were highlighted with their skills and emotions. But the most adorable one is King Shark (Sylvester Stallone), his massive size and modest presence was made even more special in his aquarium scene.

The Suicide Squad is now in theaters and streaming on HBO Max.
