Our Review
Suicide Squad (2016) is a action and adventure film from Movies. It runs about 123 minutes. It premiered on August 5, 2016. Viewers rate it 5.9 out of 10.
What Suicide Squad Is About
Harley Quinn, The Joker, and the Suicide Squad cause havoc in ISEKAI, an all-new original anime series from Warner Bros. Japan and WIT Studio.
What to Expect When You Watch
It runs about 123 minutes and it leans into its action/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the film leans on Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Jared Leto to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis and Jai Courtney lead the cast.
Key roles include Will Smith as Deadshot; Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn; Jared Leto as The Joker; Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag; Viola Davis as Amanda Waller.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of action, adventure and fantasy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Movies’s other originals, a 5.9/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2016 and carried by Movies, it lands hardest with action and adventure viewers.
How Suicide Squad Compares
If 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/adventure 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 Suicide Squad is the kind of film that rewards a patient watch, with Will Smith and Margot Robbie doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its action/adventure roots, It has held up since 2016 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Suicide Squad is a safe bet for anyone already inside the action and adventure lane, the audience score holds around 5.9/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.9/10. Watch it if you want action/adventure you can settle into.
