As Alfred would put it: 'Ooooo, how to best describe it??'

Rating: 6/10 (28 September 2017)

Essentially, half this movie is filled with flashbacks, outlining each character's purpose in the story as well as providing a connected relationship with the characters. This movie seems to be dedicated to flashbacks which mostly focuses on Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, connected with The Joker played by Jared Leto and Deadshot played by Will Smith. The others seem to be brief mostly to keep the group as a whole at bay.
I'm in two minds about the layout of this film. This method can be seen as a good way to portray each character's origin story which means this film's purpose was to focus on each the character's biography to lead up to a much important sequel such as the Justice League or perhaps making a sequel to Suicide Squad which seems possible. Many films do that these days, they take there time to dive deeper into the story, separating them into chapters which is the best way to get the point across.
Honestly with the performance of Harley Quinn and Deadshot in the picture was the highlight of this movie. I think because of the mix reviews of Batman vs Superman, the production team panicked and added random elements to the move to make it more lively, but they did take the time think it through. They just simply but popular songs together in separate sequences which didn't always mesh with the film.
I think the trailer provided a false advertising story. The trailer made it seem like it was the Suicide Squad against The Joker, but there's nothing like that in the movie. I feel like the Joker was present as a supporting act for the Harley Quinn's character in order to create awareness, which makes sense even though Margot Robbie's performance was impressive on her own.
However, I feel somewhere in this movie has something good coming from it but it's just hidden and formed into a core surrounded by a mesh of different stories all force into one, making it even more difficult to point out exactly where the good is coming from.
Overall, this movie seemed to have clever dramatic scenes, a few comical moments added with some decent actions scene with touch of oversimplified or stereotypical representation through out. An entertaining movie but not as great as I thought it would be.
