More is a lot less in Suicide Squad mess

Review

Suicide Squad (M) Directed by David Ayer StarringWill Smith, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis, Jared Leto 123 mins moves that prove disturbing, not least of all because she plays an abuse victim styled in kinderwhore/Suicide Girl fashion.

Robbie, the actress as opposed to the sex doll, is actually pretty great at getting as much as possible from her character.

Ditto Will Smith, who is a welcome presence here. But those are the only high points from the cast, with Jared Leto flat out sucking as The Joker, his minimal screen time leaving me dreading his films to come... Overthought, yet very, very dumb, Suicide Squad is a huge, aggravating misfire.

Guardians Everything Suicide Squad does is constantly trying to buy your adulation and takes it further and further away from the film it could have been.
