The Suicide Squad


They're back! Amanda Waller is at it again, using expendable but gifted criminals to carry out secret ops. This time, the team must infiltrate an island fortress on Corto Maltese to destroy a captive space monster before the new hostile government of that land unleashes it on the USA- and the world. Is the squad up to the task, or is it . . . Suicide?

Ugh. I really had high hopes for this one. Five years ago, the original came out,  and that fell flat for reasons I explain in that review. This time, the movie falls flat- for the exact same reasons. It's trying to be multiple things and failing at all of them. This one is rated R, though, so it's a lot bloodier. This whole situation reminds me of the Ghost Rider films. The first was bad, so they made a second with the same actors- a soft reboot- and it turned out worse. Same here.

Rating: D+
