Suicide Squad

In a bid to contain dangerous crooks, a ruthless government official gathers a squad of convicted villains to carry out missions too sensitive for normal channels. Each member brings a sharp set of skills, yet they are treated as expendable assets under tight supervision. The team is sent into risk filled operations in exchange for shortened prison sentences, all while being watched by Amanda Waller and her shadowy allies. They face hostile environments and deadlines, with the constant risk of betrayal from within. As the mission unfolds, the real test is not just the external threat but the fragile trust that must form among people who barely trust themselves. They must learn to fight together despite the odds, together now.

Directed by David Ayer, the film adapts a DC Comics premise into a large ensemble action piece with heavy urban energy and dark humor. It features Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Viola Davis and Joel Kinnaman in leading roles.

The movie grossed around 746 million dollars worldwide, confirming strong commercial appeal within the DC Extended Universe despite mixed reviews. Box office performance helped justify a broader audience for antihero team entries and sparked discussions about shared universe direction globally.

Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn became a standout figure outside comics influencing fashion and meme culture with bright outfits and impulsive humor. The Joker's portrayal sparked ongoing debates, while the film's neon color palette and chaotic action left a distinct visual imprint that still echoes in posters and trailers and merchandise.

Critical responses were mixed, praising performances and energy while criticizing the uneven tone and plot. The movie uses a team of flawed characters to probe loyalty, power, and redemption, asking whether people can change when institutions profit from their crimes and the line between hero and villain keeps shifting everywhere.
