Finished watching Suicide Squad, directed by David Ayer and staring Viola Davis, Cara Delevingne, Joel Kinnaman, Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Adewale Akinuoye-Aqbaje, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adam Beach, Karen Fukuhara, Ezra Miller and Ben Affleck. The film opens with Amanda Waller(Viola Davis) meeting with a couple of government officials pitching her idea of a super villain team controlled by the American government. During a presentation at Washington DC Waller shows off her capability of keeping criminals in check by using the Enchantress (Cara Delevingne) who is using the body of archaeologist June Moone as a host. That night Enchantress teleports herself to Midway City to release her brother and to begin their decimation of the world. When Waller and Colonel Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) try to stop the monster in Midway city Enchantress escapes and joins her brother. This leads to Amanda Waller activating her Task Force X program as Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Killer Croc (Adewale Akinuoye-Aqbaje), Captain Boomarang (Jai Courtney), El Diablo (Jay Hernandez), and Slipknot (Adam Beach) are brought together under the leadership of Rick Flag to stop Enchantress and her brother otherwise the bombs injected in their next will go off or Flags bodyguard Katana (Karen Fukuhara) will get them. Overall this was a good film as it has some great comedic moments that bring a more lighter tone which DC's more recent films have been lacking in recent years. The character interactions work well within the film from how the team try to work together to showing how some of the villains were captured by The Flash (Ezra Miller) and Batman (Ben Affleck) as due to these scenes being from the point of the villains view Flash feels more shocking while Batman looks monstrous especially during the Deadshot flashback as he moves almost like a vampire. The choice of music that is used within the film is great as each song captures the tone of a scene and each character's characteristics almost perfectly. Annoyingly the music used within the film is not of the films official soundtrack apart from a couple of tracks that were recorded while the film was being made. The editing and pace of the film is pretty bad in some places as cuts between shots feel as if something is missing especially with scenes shown in the trailers that don't make it into the film which leaves more to desire and to wonder what was actually left on the cutting room floor, but for what the film had was good it's just that it could have been great if not amazing. 7/10.
