i want you to hit me as hard as you can all right guys jimmy oh from joe blow and it is time you
know what let's not waste any time here james gunns the suicide squad improves on every single
thing it possibly can from the previous entry the new flick is not a sequel and it's all the better
for it margot robbie jai courtney joel kinnaman and viola davis have all returned and there are
a plethora of new and familiar faces the film features the talents of idris elba john cena
michael rooker nathan fillion david dasmulchen pete davidson sean gunn meiling ing peter capaldi
flula borg jennifer holland daniella melchor and even sylvester stallone voicing a walking
talking eating machine of a shark yes this is a james gunn suicide squad it's a film that
relishes the weir and the wonderful allowing the filmmaker to create his vision in the most
hilariously funny feature of the year now something big is brewing and it's not good
far off on the island of corto maltese a plot has been hatched one that could destroy america
and any other country that fights against this deadly enemy with the challenge of this mission
being as dangerous as it is there's only one group of men and women crazy enough to take it on well
it also helps that they don't have a choice and they'll have their heads blown off if they don't
and that group of crazies makes up the suicide squad after quote convincing bloodsport elba
to lead the charge the mission is on those involved include everyone from harley quinn
peacemaker rick flag savant javelin ratcatcher 2 and a giant shark that loved a good nom nom and
the strange weasel of course it's a big mission but one with a ton of surprises and shocks this
review is going to be majorly spoiler free i want you to enjoy it like i did now the first
thing you hear as the film begins is the sound of an audience cheering on as johnny cash performs as
classic live version of folsom prison blues and the scene accompanying it sets the stage
for what's to come it features michael rooker in prison with a ball and it comes across as a
hilariously twisted homage to the great escape after that the action hits very early on a
team is gathered and sent to their destination gun doesn't waste much time but even still he
ably gives the viewer a sense of the characters that we're about to join for a couple of hours
one thing is obvious even if you know nothing about this film with a cast that large and a movie
this insane they aren't all getting out alive the uncertainty of who will make it out and who won't
is aggressively entertaining however there is a small crew of survivors that takes on the majority
of the storyline i'm not going to be the one to narrow that down any more than the trailers
or perhaps the other reviewers have already done we all know what gun did with both rock
at the raccoon and the goofy charming groot the filmmaker certainly stepped it up even more with
the suicide squad stallone and steve aggie along with an impressive effects crew created one of
my favorite characters in the film king shark and yes all hail king shark as well you have an
adorable little rat that just wants to say hello or maybe shake hands and a weasel that sean gunn
inhabits and i haven't even gotten to the final half hour and the wonderfully colorful nightmarish
enjoyment it brings the creature design here is stunning every single one of the cgi creatures
even the tiny and adorable rat they all offer a little extra to the eye popping feature now
creating a story that can utilize this entire cast must have been a challenging endeavor to say the
least thankfully that's another plus to this crazy movie the body count is high it wears its r rating
like a badge of honor and yet all the actors involved bring something to the table if you're
checking out this movie for a specific actor that you're a fan of they unfortunately might not have
a whole lot of screen time yet even still all the actors involved have something unique and fun to
bring again you have to credit mr gunn the script beautifully handles all the layers that help craft
one of the most original and refreshing big screen superhero adventures in the past few years and yes
this script takes on such weighty issues as an abusive mother a drug addict father and a world
where we realize folks who need to make better choices don't the real story behind the suicide
squad is simply that james gunn was allowed to make exactly the film he wanted to make sometimes
that doesn't work this time it did this is his movie he brought these characters to the forefront
in the best of ways james brings his bloody good humor that is reminiscent of his early years of
trauma and much like he did with guardians of the galaxy he adds a refreshing amount of humanity and
still manages to bring a very darkly wicked sense of fun into the mix one sequence that a character
realizes she must make a deal with the devil is impressively twisted so much so that it took me a
moment to process what just happened every choice that gunn makes here feels fresh in this world
and he's not afraid to get ridiculous but he does so with purpose what a fun freaking film this is
the suicide squad is a magnificent masterpiece of mayhem i loved every single minute of james gunn's
bold new entry into the dc cinematic universe every single actor fully embraces a brazen
insanity without holding back the laughs are consistent and the creature design is impeccable
do i even need to mention that he once again brought together a gloriously impressive set
of songs to enhance his feature sure if you aren't a fan of guns outrageousness with a heart
you may not find the gleeful enjoyment of this feature like i did yet that's also what makes a
film so damn batshit entertaining it is mr gunn's voice here in every scene in every blood-soaked
encounter in every brilliantly placed song and every moment of humor and heart it's because of
james gunn the suicide squad arrives in theaters and hbo max on august 6 and my oh my does it
look fantastic on imax i'm going again and if you haven't guessed i'm a fan i'm giving the suicide
squad james gunn's latest entry a 10 out of 10. it's a rare grade but i freaking love this movie
robert dubois he's in prison for putting superman in the icu with a kryptonite bullet
