PLOT

                                  After the death of Superman, intelligence officer Amanda Waller decides to form a team of deadly criminals called Task Force X. So, she unites hitman Deadshot, former psychiatrist Harley Quinn, pyrokinetic ex-gangster El Diablo, opportunistic thief Captain Boomerang, genetic mutation Killer Croc, and specialized assassin Slipknot, under the supervision of Col Rick Flag. Waller possess the heart of witch-goddess known as Enchantress whom was possessed in the body of archaeologists June Moone, girlfriend of Col Rick. Rick was forced to take the job in order save his girlfriend. Enchantress resurrects her brother from the tomb and decides to punish the entire mankind for enslaving her. They attack the Midway city and turns the residents as monsters for their army. Now it’s the time for Task Force X in action.

                                   Suicide Squad was one of the most anticipated movie of 2016, but to be fair it was not able to rise to that expectations. The theme for the movie and the casting except Viola Davis was good but the problem is  with the over-jammed story and David Ayer’s direction, which showcases just so much of the action but is shot so badly, with almost pitch black backgrounds and a lot of shaky camerawork. and it lacks a good script, some of the positives of the movie are its songs (skrillex really made some pumping beats for the movie even it got 2 Grammy nominations). Another important factor that I would like to discuss is about the role of Joker, Jared Leto faces the toughest job in the movie because to reprise the role of Joker is like a Herculean task due to the standard created by Nolan and Ledger, but Leto portrayed a Joker in his style without adapting any elements from Ledger and made his job a good one.

                                     As a DC fan, I would like to see some good stuff from their franchise, now the entire hopes lays on wonder woman and Justice league.
