Suicide Squad is every bit as crazy and messy as Harley Quinn’s psyche.
It is also an entertaining and neon-lit fireworks freak show.
If you hadnt heard, Harley is the Jokers gal pal with a wicked laugh all her own.
Shes wild, crazy, and extravagantly melodramatic.
Kind of like this movie.
But in both cases, its a damn captivating spectacle to behold.
Thus enters a multitude of flashbacks that are each scored by no less than two pop songs.
There is a lot going on inSuicide Squad.
Its kind of inevitable with this many characters.
For the record, putting a mini-grenade into eachs neck and threatening to pull the trigger is fairly persuasive.
But the only two of major note are unsurprisingly Smith and Robbie.
It has been a long time since Will Smith has been in a particularly good blockbuster.
So, it is easy to forget just how immediately likable his eternally youthful charisma can be.
But she is also a lot more playfully oblivious about her crimes.
Robbie captures that childlike sense of mischief that goes hand-in-hand with her madness.
Luckily, there is a definite charm to this unfussy and obviously entertaining headlong dive into Crazy Town.
But hey, thats just Harley being Harley.
And in the case ofSuicide Squad, thats still pretty fabulous.
