The Suicide Squad

Louilink editorial rating: 8.3/10. This score reflects the film’s position in the existing DC Extended Universe ranking.

A new group of expendable operatives is dispatched to Corto Maltese, where a chaotic mission becomes an unexpectedly affecting story about damaged outsiders.

Performances and Direction

Gunn balances outrageous violence and absurd humor with genuine feeling, particularly through Ratcatcher 2 and Bloodsport. The ensemble’s chemistry and inventive action are strengths, although the gleefully abrasive tone will not appeal to everyone.

The Final Verdict

A bold, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt team adventure that finds humanity beneath its anarchic surface.
