Suicide Squad was one of the most expected films in 2016. This is a film about adventures of several supervillains from the DC Comics universe who are hired by the American government to perform a secret operation and to save the world. Amanda Waller, an intelligence agent, arrives at Belle River Prison in Louisiana to encourage five avid supervillains to be used in a battle with an evil supernatural force. She has no other choice – the thread is close, and Superman is dead. They are promised the reduction of their sentences and special perks.
This operation has a code name Task Force X. Rick Flag, a Colonel with rich experience, is the supervisor of the whole operation. It turns out that these villains don’t have any other change than to participate in this suicidal mission as small bombs were implanted in their necks. So if some of them decide to quit, they are killed the same second, hence the name of the Squad.
The villains’ team is extremely versatile. The head of this group is Deadshot, a hitman and marksman with tons of impeccable killings, who is very concerned about his small daughter future. El Diablo is a former gangster covered in tattoos all over his body with pyrokinetic abilities to manipulate fire. He turns into a big fire demon if needed. Killer Croc is a genetically modified reptile with an aggressive attitude, immense power, capacity to breathe under water and to stop bullets by his thick skin.
The team includes Slipknot, the assassin with good tactical skills and Captain Boomerang, a tricky thief, with deadly boomerangs and a terrible character. And, of course, the only woman in the squad – Harley Quinn, the psychiatrist of Joker, another supervillain in this universe, who was imprisoned by Batman. She was turned into a villain by Joker after taking a radioactive bath as she was madly in love with him. This made her a bit crazy, but her madness was of great interest to Joker, so she became his girlfriend. But no one knows that Harley Quinn’s bomb was disabled by Joker using tortures and blackmailing.
This not at all perfect team is supposed to fight ancient evil force released into our world – a witch-goddess Enchantress who used to be the ruler of the world but is forgotten now. She managed to possess Dr. June Moone, a scientist, and archeologist working on this operation. After having enough control from Amanda Waller, who has her heart, she decides to take revenge to Amanda and additionally destroy the mankind. Now Amanda Wall is concerned about her own life that’s why the squad’s real mission is to save her.
Typically, everything goes wrong – she is kidnaped by the Enchantress, and all members of the Squad have been freed from bombs in their necks. They decide to leave Flagg alone. No one has any warm feelings towards Agent Waller, and no one wants to save her. They realize that this is their opportunity to clean themselves and save the world. They unite against the Enchantress in a desolated subway station, but their attempts fail as she is too strong an enemy.
In the end, they manage to distract her attention and Flag destroys her heart, the source of her power, so Jane is safe. So the world is safe. Agent Waller is also alive – she decides the Squad had enough fun and it’s time to go back to their old home. All members of the Squad are back in prison though they are allowed certain privileges. But Joker is not going to leave his girlfriend there.
I think I need an aspirin
I gotta get my head right
Can’t remember what I did last night
Everything, everything is still a blur.
Harley woke up slowly, stretching out her limbs and yawning. The first thought struck her: where the hell am I? Continue reading “Blur” »
