The Suicide Squad allows Gunn to lean into everything that he does best. But they'll always inspire some kind of significant reaction, and that’s why the film works so well. Sometimes these over-the-top deaths are done for shock value, sometimes for humor, and sometimes to pull our heart strings. Characters don’t just go down they get sliced and diced, incinerated and exploded with blood and guts galore - the kind where you can see chunky bits in the viscera. That gives it a rare sense of danger, like the good days of Game of Thrones where any scene might have been your favorite character’s last.Īnd when these characters are killed off, it’s not pretty, as director James Gunn taps into his old gory days as a gross-out provocateur. It's made abundantly clear that no one in its colorful cast is safe. While we've come to expect costumed heroes and villains to have plot armor so they can show up again for the next franchise installment, the characters of The Suicide Squad enjoy no such luxury.
#SUICIDE SQUAD RATE IT MOVIE#
Once again, a group of incarcerated super-criminals is sent on a lethally dangerous black ops mission, allowing the thoroughly R-rated movie to live up to its name in gruesome fashion.
The story is, essentially, "The Dirty Dozen but With Supervillains," and it's one hell of a great time. In fact, this irreverent, ultra-violent romp featuring F-list villains is DC’s best film in years. The Suicide Squad isn’t so much a reboot or a sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad as it is a complete do-over - and this time, they knocked it out of the park.
