Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Despite a good premise, a secret US government project to release the country's imprisoned supervillains to fight an enemy and all the danger of such an initiative. But, there's not enough to care about given the messy production. The characters gleam, and they have different skill sets for oncoming enemies which is entertaining, but they have very little redeeming features. The tightness of the story set up at he beginning is offset by a clotted storyline that follows. Every superhero anti-hero film must have a convincing villain to create perspective, so eaily beaten walking blackberries and a Disney witch falls short. There's just not enough comedy to make it fun - that's the nub of it. However, the whole thing is saved somewhat by Margot Robbie's perky minx, Harley Quinn, who lit up the screen every time she appeared.

Let me start this review by saying that I had high hopes for this movie (I don't really know why either). This film had a strange change in marketing as it got closer to the release which made me feel uneasy going in. Another thing that made me feel this way was the extensive reshoots. But still I went in open minded. Let me start out with what I liked. I enjoyed the soundtrack (outside of the movie) I will return to this subject in the bad. I also enjoyed some of the very brief moments between the squad that actually showed character. Now for the bad.
#1-The soundtrack: the music tried to do all the heavy lifting that the script and the direction should've been doing. It tried way to hard to tell you how to feel.
#2-The plot: the plot in the film is so thin that you can barely say there is a plot. It is also needlessly simple.
#3-Film Structure: The Movie doesn't really have scenes. Sure it has the opening montage but that's what the movie ultimately is, a series of montages. There's a very long extended "scene" which is ultimately just the last three quarters of the movie when they're in the city.
#4-Characters: the characters are not the characters we know and love. They are extremely misguided and the dialogue is so bad that it comes off almost as a spoof of these characters. They hired great talent such as Jared Leto who is surprising horrible in this movie. He is given nothing to do and you can tell in his performance how little help they gave him. Harley Quinn is also an issue. Margot Robbie is a great talent but she ultimately resorts to saying unfunny jokes and supplying the movie with endless shots of her butt. These great characters are stripped of everything that made them great to be one dimensional time wasters.
#5-David Ayer: I feel like when David Ayer tries he can achieve greatness (Training Day, End Of Watch, Fury) but unfortunately he is so tired and unimaginative as a writer and a sleepwalker as a director now so he produces hot garbage.
#6-Editing: The Editing In this movie is so jarring. It will randomly have Instagram video edit editing (if that makes sense) where there will Be neon colors on screen for no reason. Also the film has a tone problem. The movie was clearly heavily re-edited in post production. Basically how I feel is that maybe with a different writer & Director and without studio interference this could've been a great movie. However this is once again another dud for DC. When I write this don't think that I am some Marvel fanboy. I am not stranger to ripping one apart. I just enjoy watching good films and I don't settle for mediocrity. This is yet another example of when good source material goes bad.

Suicide squad. Smells, sounds, tastes, looks and acts like crap; I t's probably crap. This is definitely crap.
