Suicide Squad

Actors: Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne
Rating: 9 out of 10, I am seriously worried about the state of movie critics who have almost universally panned this anti-hero centric endeavor because I thought it truly rocked. There were engaging, if demented characters, and gallows humor generously laced throughout. The plot is a little thin but this is a superhero movie not Shakespeare and while the “heroes” aren’t generally admirable, they’re certainly watchable. Will Smith proves he’s remains a bona fide movie star while still being generous with the other actors in the ensemble. Harley Quinn wears the hell out of a pair of shorts as Margot Robbie continues her white hot streak. I thought the only miss was Joel Kinnaman as the supposedly good guy leader; he doesn’t have the screen presence to pull off the part, especially in this cast. Everyone else, and I mean everyone, was awesome. Don’t listen to the self-important gas bag critics, go see this rowdy, no holds barred excess of a flick. I loved it. 
MVP: Smith as Deadshot leads by mere presence, tough call though after seeing those shorts again
