This week on "Justin Hall At The Movies," I'll be
reviewing Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, and John Cena as they're dying to save the
world in "The Suicide Squad."
The Suicide Squad is a standalone sequel to the 2016
film and while many considered it to be a colossal letdown, I'm happy to report
this one under writer/director James Gunn of Guardians of the Galaxy fame is
the over-the-top spectacle we should've gotten in the original. Margot Robbie returns as Harley Quinn, but this
time she's got a new squad at her side in the form of Bloodsport, a mercenary
(Idris Elba); Peacemaker (John Cena); a jingoistic killer; Ratcatcher (Daniela
Melchior); a criminal who can control rats; Polka Dot Man (David Dastmalchian)
whose suit is covered entirely in polka dots; and there's Nanaue/King Shark
(Sylvester Stallone); a human/shark hybrid. Together, they're under the services of Amanda
Waller and Col.
