Good Summer Flick

Rating: 7/10 (17 August 2016)

After hearing some buzz about bad reviews, I'm glad to see the IMDb seems pretty upbeat about this movie. Certainly some movie goers might be disappointed in the lack of production values and star power but "Suicide Squad" stands up quite well as an entertaining, well written, well directed summer flick. Will Smith (Deadshot), Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn), and Jared Leto (the Joker) all give credible performances as well rounded action heroes and Viola Davis (Amanda Waller) stand out simply by acting against type. If you are only going to see one movie this summer, do not go to see "Suicide Squad". But if your week sucked and your brain needs a rest, I guarantee you will enjoy this movie.
