If you’re tired of watching superheroes take all the spotlight, watch the movie Suicide Squad as it shows on HBO GO on November 4, 2021
It’s a continuation of the preivious one still with Harley Quinn and some of the gang with some new faces thrown in the mix to make it more fun when some of them die. LOL
Watch it. It’s a fun roller coaster shoot out movie.
Task Force X is a motley crew of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and of course, Harley Quinn. They’re armed heavily and dropped literally on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government tech in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.
Directed from his own screenplay, Gunn takes the criminals of Task Force X on an outrageously visceral, wild ride that blends non-stop action and life-or-death situations with irreverent humor and even heartfelt moments, all filtered through Gunn’s singular vision.
“I have loved the Suicide Squad since I was very young,” Gunn states, “they’re one of my favorite groups of comic book anti-heroes. I’m always interested in people who have not lived their best lives and have an opportunity to become something better—a chance at redemption. Some of them take it, some don’t; it’s humanity in all its various degrees of morality, and I get to put it on screen in a really grand, exciting way, with aliens and monsters and a walking shark.”
The film was produced by Charles Roven and Peter Safran, with Zack Snyder, Deborah Snyder, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo, Nikolas Korda and Richard Suckle executive producing.
Gunn’s vision of his Squad was so clear that, though each character is an established supervillain in their own right, he manages to imbue them all with a sense of redemption…or at least the possibility of it. While he went for some of the big-name villains, he primarily opted to include more obscure characters who many readers would consider expendable, cultivating within each of them their most endearing traits, ensuring audiences would root for them and their cause against seemingly impossibly stacked odds.
