Suicide Squad (2016)
4/10
A hot mess
9 October 2022
After finishing watching this movie I found myself asking: "What have I just watched?". Genuinely, is there anything memorable? The premise of assembling a team of criminals who agree to help the government in exchange for a shorter prison sentence is compelling enough, but there's really nothing noteworthy that happens throughout the movie.

The analysis of characters is entirely absent. We're just introduced to them but nothing that carries any substantial emotional weight is shown in the movie. We just see them do stuff, essentially, and when one does not care about them (and is not even perversely fascinating by their evil nature), there is little left.

The plot is incredibly generic, while the acting is good enough, even though the cast was not given much to work with. I've seen worse movies, but as far as this one is concerned, there is virtually no reason to watch it.
