Still, we thought, director David AyersSuicide Squadshould at least deliver a straightforward narrative.
This led us to the following questions: how doesSuicide Squadhold up almost a year on?
How well does it withstand a repeat viewing?
Did it really deserve that dismal 25 percent aggregate score on Rotten Tomatoes?
In fairness, just about all the main players are well cast.
Harley Quinn in her cell, seemingly in a permanent ecstatic swoon; Deadshot in isolation, throwing punches.
Suicide Squadhas a large ensemble cast to introduce a task the film bafflingly carries out multiple times.
Then were taken back and shown another series of discrete sequences, which relate the characters histories in flashback.
When done correctly, jumping around in time can make for a thoroughly absorbing story.
The reliance on montages and flashbacks also makes the film alarmingly predictable.
A quick question: how many of you guessed which member of theSuicide Squadwas most likely to die first?

The characters are in place.
The casting is (largely) spot-on.
