				"Recently, I made a promise 
				to myself that the next time I got a boyfriend, I'd be on the 
				lookout for red flags. And if I saw any, 
				I would do the healthy 
				thing, and I would murder him. And killing kids? Kind of a red 
				flag." - Harley Quinn 
				Why watch this? 
				James Gunn's version of the Squad is a tad better. 
				Plot Summary: 
				Task Force X, known as Suicide Squad, is assembled by Amanda 
				Waller, and comprised of incarcerated supervillains sent on a 
				high-stakes mission to the South American island nation of Corto 
				Maltese. Their objective is to destroy Jotunheim, a Nazi-era 
				prison and laboratory housing a dangerous secret known as 
				Project Starfish. The mission is fraught with peril and 
				betrayal, forcing the mismatched group to contend with a new 
				anti-American regime. Dad's Preview: 
				This raunchy romp through DC's universe is basically MORE... The
				Bad? More bad language and gore. The Good? More action, 
				comedy and anti-heroes. Starro! AND - more Margot Robbie as Harley 
				Quinn. Somehow, the upcoming DC Gunn-verse will incorporate this 
				version of the 
				Squad there, too. We'll see how that works out. However, this film is good entertainment for the super-hero-loving fan, but 
				definitely not their children. For me personally, an adult who 
				still loves the innocence of comic books, that is a sad thing. 
				Sometimes more is not always better.
