Our take on The Suicide Squad

James Gunn takes over the DC antihero franchise for this 2021 action-comedy, assembling a disposable band of supervillains from Belle Reve prison into the shady Task Force X and dropping them on the enemy-riddled island of Corto Maltese. Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and a roster of oddball convicts anchor a mission where survival odds are grim and gallows humor is constant. Gunn leans into splattery violence, needle-drops and affection for misfits, so expect crude jokes braided with sudden character warmth. It suits viewers who want an irreverent, gory comic-book romp that treats its roster as expendable, and who don't mind tonal swings; those seeking a solemn or family-friendly superhero film should look elsewhere.
