What The Suicide Squad Is About
The Suicide Squad (2021) is a action and comedy film produced for Movies that premiered on August 5, 2021.
It stars Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena and Joel Kinnaman.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 132 minutes and it leans into its action/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Margot Robbie, Idris Elba and John Cena to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone and Viola Davis lead the cast.
Key roles include Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn; Idris Elba as Robert DuBois / Bloodsport; John Cena as Christopher Smith / Peacemaker; Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag; Sylvester Stallone as the voice of King Shark.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, comedy and adventure have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 7.2/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2021 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and comedy viewers.
How The Suicide Squad Compares
If The Suicide Squad lands for you, the next stops are Avatar: The Last Airbender, Attack on Titan and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which share its action/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole The Suicide Squad is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Margot Robbie and Idris Elba doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/comedy roots, It has held up since 2021 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Suicide Squad is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and comedy lane, the audience score holds around 7.2/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.2/10. Watch it if you want action/comedy you can settle into.
