Warner Bros. has prided itself in making \u201cdirector-driven\u201d DC superhero movies<\/a>, and rarely has that directive paid off as gloriously as it has with James Gunn<\/strong>\u2018s The Suicide Squad<\/em><\/strong>. We\u2019ve read the headlines at this point: Gunn was given free rein to do whatever he wanted with his follow-up (but not a sequel) to David Ayer\u2019s 2016 Suicide Squad<\/em>, including indulging in R-rated mayhem and hiring Peter Capaldi to wear tracksuits and say \u201cfuck\u201d as much as he wants. And boy, does Gunn deliver.<\/p>\n

With the phenomenal success of his Guardians of the Galaxy <\/em>movies (and all the needle-drop nostalgia they have reaped), it\u2019s easy to forget that Gunn was once a genre provocateur behind the likes of B-movie cult hits like Slither<\/em> and Super.<\/em> But before he raised cuddly characters like Groot out of obscurity with his wildly popular Marvel movies, Gunn was not afraid to shock and awe, and push a few envelopes, especially when it came to gore. And he revisits his roots with The Suicide Squad,<\/em> a spectacularly violent, at-times surprisingly sweet superhero\/supervillain flick.
\nTo his credit, Gunn doesn\u2019t simply repeat the Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> formula, which many probably think he would, given the notoriously Guardians<\/em>-lite studio-mandated edit of Ayer\u2019s Suicide Squad<\/em>. Instead, Gunn chooses to put his own very distinct mark on The Suicide Squad<\/em>, populating it with the most obscure D-list DC characters, giving them motive, giving them deep backstories, and giving many of them a horribly gruesome death. It\u2019s clear Gunn empathizes with outsiders and misfits, and you can\u2019t get more ragtag than the crew Amanda Waller (Viola Davis<\/strong>, needing no steak-chewing introduction, as she chews up every scene she app<\/a>ears in) assembled for this Task Force X.<\/p>\n

Our de facto protagonist in The Suicide Squad<\/em> is Robert DuBois\/Bloodsport (Idris Elba<\/strong>, turning up his innate charm while getting to tap into his underused self-deprecating attitude), a mercenary imprisoned at Belle Reve for putting Superman in the ICU with a Kryptonite bullet. After Waller threatens his daughter (Storm Reid<\/strong>), Bloodsport is reluctantly brought in to lead Waller\u2019s Task Force X on a mission in Corto Maltese, a fictional South American country that had recently undergone a violent military coup. And the new regime is not so keen on America. But Waller\u2019s mission for Task Force X, curiously, isn\u2019t to depose the new military regime, but to infiltrate and destroy the country\u2019s Nazi-era laboratory\u00a0Jotunheim, where the Thinker (Peter Capaldi<\/strong>, essentially playing a supervillain Malcolm Tucker) is cooking up something nefarious.<\/p>\n

Joining Bloodsport\u2019s team are Peacemaker (John Cena<\/strong>, all swaggering nastiness), a jingoistic killer who frequently tries to one-up Bloodsport; Ratcatcher 2 (a wonderfully guileless\u00a0Daniela Melchior<\/strong>), a petty criminal with technology<\/a> that controls rats; the miserable \u201cexperiment gone wrong\u201d Polka-Dot Man (a scene-stealing\u00a0David Dastmalchian<\/strong>); and the adorable MVP of the film,\u00a0Nanaue\/King Shark (voiced by Sylvester Stallone<\/strong>, mo-capped by\u00a0Steve Agee<\/strong>), the lumbering Groot-like figure of the group, who has a taste for human flesh.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman<\/strong>, finally able to inject some Southern fried personality into his stalwart soldier) is back and leading a mission that includes\u00a0Suicide Squad<\/em> favorite Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie<\/strong>, gleefully wearing the character like a second skin that she cut up herself), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney<\/strong>, unhinged as ever), Savant (Michael Rooker<\/strong>), Blackguard (Pete Davidson<\/strong>), TDK (Nathan Fillion<\/strong>), Javelin (Flula Borg<\/strong>), Mongal (Mayling Ng<\/strong>), and the terrifying gag monster from the pits of hell, Weasel (Sean Gunn<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

To go further into how this ludicrously large ensemble gets together (or more accurately, how the film starts to quickly and violently deplete their numbers) would risk getting into spoiler territory, but it\u2019s in the name, isn\u2019t it? You can\u2019t expect too many characters to live in a film called The Suicide Squad<\/em>.\u00a0And yet, Gunn performs the magic trick we\u2019ve seen him do time and time again: he makes us care for these terribly immoral, most likely doomed, characters. (Well, except for Weasel, he can go back to the dumpster from hell that he crawled out from.) The core group starts to morph into an unlikely family unit \u2014 albeit a family that includes several murderous uncles and a suicidal cousin. At the center of this strange family is the unexpected father-daughter dynamic that blossoms between Bloodsport and Ratcatcher 2, even if Melchior\u2019s depiction of the pure-hearted rat-controller is basically a variation of\u00a0Pom Klementieff\u2019s Mantis in\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2<\/em>. But it\u2019s clear that Gunn cares for each of these characters, bringing to The Suicide Squad<\/em>\u00a0some of the earnest empathy that he honed in his\u00a0Guardians<\/em> movies.
\nGunn\u2019s cynicism may be gone, but not his nastiness. The Suicide Squad<\/em> is brutal in such a way that I started to feel my limits for gross-out violence being tested. To count the number of heads that are exploded or faces that are ripped off would involve sitting here all day, but the deaths in\u00a0The Suicide Squad<\/em> are admittedly so absurdly imaginative that you\u2019re never in danger of getting bored. Of course, Gunn pulls off each of these hyperviolent deaths with a wink and a tongue-in-cheek quip \u2014 the jokes fly as quickly as the blood splatter hits every corner of the frame. All of this is aided by Gunn\u2019s heightened vision for\u00a0The Suicide Squad<\/em>: one that is bright, and colorful, and vibrant \u2014 calling back both to the comic book pages that inspire the movie, and to \u201970s exploitation films. It\u2019s Gunn unleashed, not just in terms of R-rated mayhem, but in his directorial flair.<\/p>\n

At times, The Suicide Squad<\/em> feels less like a movie than a mission statement from a director. Behold, look what I can do with a budget and all the comic book characters I can play with. But, the unexpected heart at the center of the film, a sneaky anti-imperialist bent, and Gunn\u2019s wild visual leaps make\u00a0The Suicide Squad<\/em> a bloody, gory delight.<\/p>\n
