Entertaining but disappointing.

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2016)

As the dark comedy it was marketed as, it fails. If the story of two different cuts being merged into one is true, then the tones must have canceled each other out, because the movie ended up being dull. A lot of the entertainment value is from Will Smith and Margot Robbie as Deadshot and Harley Quinn. Most of the other major characters are visually interesting, but forgettable. Diablo is a walking cliché, being a Mexican-stereotype bad guy who redeems himself in death. Scott Eastwood and Common's characters ended up having no impact on the film at all, and there are a few moments that just don't work. There are some serious moments ruined by poor execution, such as the final battle using slow-motion to the point of boring me. Ultimately, I was disappointed, but I wouldn't say no to watching it again. I just wouldn't go back to the theater.
