      90% Tomatometer 383 Reviews 82% Audience Score 2,500+ Verified Ratings Welcome to hell--a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out--even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today's do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone's favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (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 techies 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.

      The Suicide Squad

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Enlivened by writer-director James Gunn's singularly skewed vision, The Suicide Squad marks a funny, fast-paced rebound that plays to the source material's violent, anarchic strengths.

      Audience Says

      The story isn't amazing, but the over-the-top action and (sometimes literally) side-splitting gags make this Suicide Squad a major improvement.

      Tim Grierson Screen International An invigorating blast of bloody, disreputable comic-book cinema, "The Suicide Squad" turns its titular criminals into a collection of lovable anti-heroes set loose in a dazzling, surprisingly emotional adventure. Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Glen Weldon NPR The thing that makes The Suicide Squad so singularly distasteful is closely related to its factory-installed cynicism: the unconscionable glibness that grows out of it. Aug 21, 2021 Full Review Damian Levy DamianMichaelMovies.com 'The Suicide Squad' represents the very best that DC films can be, taking the kind of risks that you wouldn't see in a Marvel property. Rated: Big Screen Watch Aug 12, 2021 Full Review Amy Smith InSession Film Gunn kept audiences on their toes with action that could have been ripped from the comic books, humor that was sharp and landed hit after hit, and still a surprising amount of heart that made it easy to cheer on these mischievous characters. Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Aditya Mani Jha Firstpost Gunn’s fans can dig into The Suicide Squad and its rejuvenation of the DC Universe — even if the movie, like its director, is more committed to a good time than a long time. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2023 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... funny, gory, energetic, and marvelously absurdist. What else would you expect from 'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/22 Full Review HK1213 Finally DC stepping up to right direction. This IS the Suicide Squad. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/22 Full Review Christopher I I liked this movie a lot. Tons of fun and the character interactions were great. HBO did a disservice to this movie, placing it on HBOMax.
