The second best DC film this decade

Rating: 8/10 (14 November 2019)

This film, while not as good as Wonder Woman, is still a very good effort by DC. I don't know why or how, but DC keeps missing the mark with their movies. Suicide Squad was a welcome anomaly.
This movie focuses on a group of DC villains that are recruited for what looks like a suicide mission, hence the title. The military has held a witch captive, but lose their control over her, and she means to lay waste to the world. It is up to this group of people, facing a lifetime in prison, to take her out before her plans come to fruition.
There are quite a few of the bad guys from the world of DC that are featured in this movie, and featured well. Margot Robbie and Will Smith embody their characters of Harley Quinn and Deadshot respectively. Jared Leto's turn as the Joker, while heavily teased in the trailers, amounted to very little screen time, and that was probably for the best as he did not do a very good job at it. The biggest detraction for this movie to me was Cara Delevingne as the enchantress. I do not feel that she is a very talented actress and perhaps another could have done a better job. Still, as far as movies based on DC comics go, this one was very good.
