Acting Makes This A Winner

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2016)

The acting saves this movie and makes it worth watching. Smith, Leto, Robbie, Davis, Pierre-Dixon made their, admittedly short, moments of character development worth watching the whole messy movie.
Smith is absolutely excellent as a bad guy trying to be a good dad. Robbie is tremendous as a broken woman that found someone to love her edges. Leto is absolutely stellar at making the Joker the most likable evil villain I have ever seen on screen. Davis is wonderful as the 'ends justify the means' public servant. Perhaps best of all Pierre-Dixon as a youngster that knows how to survive in a hard world and still has a soft heart.
Watch it twice.
