Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
A secret government agency recruits some of the most dangerous incarcerated super-villains to form a defensive task force. Their first mission: save the world from the apocalypse.
"The US government decides to create their own super team - but made up of convicted villains. That's how "Suicide Squad" starts, a film based on the comic book team introduced in the 1980s. Directed by David Ayer (of "End of Watch"), it invests in music video editing, humor, and a star-studded cast including Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne and Joel Kinnaman. This isn't, however, a well-constructed story - even by superhero movie standards - or one that avoids cliches. Either way, there are times when we just need a good old fight between good and evil (even if this "good" isn't very kind at all)."
