FilmSpeak brings you their The Suicide Squad movie review discussing Why The Suicide Squad Is Perfect and just might be James Gunn's masterpiece in this video essay...feat. James Gunn himself!

After WB and DC completely botched the initial outing of Task Force-X in David Ayer's Suicide Squad 2016, they needed 2 things. One, to Release the Ayer Cut and make good on the film David Ayer originally promised audiences, and two, they needed to revamp and rebuild the property from the ground up. Enter James Gunn. After a targeted Twitter attack that saw the director initially fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 for inappropriate jokes made well over a decade ago, Gunn did a lot of self-reflecting and WB/DC came knocking. They gave Gunn Carte Blanche to do whatever he wanted with whatever DC property he wanted to. The story in his heart? The Suicide Squad 2021. The new Suicide Squad is explosive, nasty, unfiltered, hilarious, and yet, incredibly wholesome. Gunn reinvented Task Force-X deconstructing the very purpose of the team and finding the dignity and humanity in who was otherwise deemed the worst of the worst. In Bloodsport, King Shark, Rick Flag, Polka Dot Man, Ratcatcher 2, and even Harley Quinn, he saw shades of himself, shades of the flawed person he was capable of great things. The Suicide Squad movie is written and directed by James Gunn and stars Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, David Dastmalchian, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Peter Capaldi. The government sends the most dangerous supervillains in the world -- Bloodsport, Peacemaker, King Shark, Harley Quinn and others -- to the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Armed with high-tech weapons, they trek through the dangerous jungle on a search-and-destroy mission for the alien Starro, with only Col. Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave. Griffin gives you his review of The Suicide Squad or the suicide squad review filled with bits from his James Gunn Interview (from The Playlist's Fourth Wall Podcast) and explains why the suicide squad is perfect and how James Gunn perfected the suicide squad in this video essay!
