Overkill DC Comics adaptation of the cult of personality; Robbie however is pitch perfect as Harley Quinn

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2016)

SUICIDE SQUAD (2016) ** Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Jared Leto, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnouoye-Agbaje, Cara Delevinge, Joel Kinnaman, Adam Beach, Scott Eastwood. (Cameo: Ben Affleck) Overkill DC Comics adaptation of the cult of personality - to wit: covert ops enlist the aide of a corps of super villains to stop an evil force in the form of a hell-bent witch (um, sure, go with it ; or don't!) with filmmaker David Ayer going way over the top with nary a nuance including the eye-rolling soundtrack, sketchy CGI bull and some truly lame characters (hello or s/I say goodbye SlipKnot). However all is not a total loss as babelicious Robbie is pitch-perfect as comely homicial Harley Quinn, Leto's cum Goth gone to rot Joker replete with grill and serious 'tats and Davis stone-faced as the world-weary leader of the nefarious operation at hand. Enjoy at your peril.
