Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Lillian Crawford (13) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 29 Dec 2021

The Suicide Squad is crass, noisy and brash – a disturbing glimpse inside the mind of James Gunn…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Richard Trenholm (40) for CNET (54) on 08 Oct 2021

This is a movie where the US government hires a shark that talks like Sylvester Stallone to tear people in half, and it is sick. It is sick as hell…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Vince Mancini (256) for Uproxx (697) on 11 Aug 2021

What started as this slightly subversive send-up eventually descends into the usual convoluted savin’-the-world nonsense…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Mark Feeney (434) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 10 Aug 2021

The addition of Gunn, like the addition of a definite article to the title, means more of the same: a baroquely nasty, flauntingly mean…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 09 Aug 2021

With The Suicide Squad, Gunn shows that there are ways to keep things edgy while at the same time offering enough humor and action to…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By K. Austin Collins (343) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 09 Aug 2021

The movie is too much, too long, but not lacking in its glories. To find them, follow Harley. She’s leading the way…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for ABC News (186) on 06 Aug 2021

The gloriously unhinged filmmaker James Gunn keeps Margot Robbie, John Cena and a top cast of crazies firing on all cylinders and turns a…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Joshua Rivera (91) for Polygon (677) on 06 Aug 2021

Gunn, for a time, was uniquely aware of how expendable he was. And The Suicide Squad is thoroughly focused on notions of expendability…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Siddhant Adlakha (174) for Observer (1,042) on 06 Aug 2021

Gunn is much better suited to the material than either David Ayer or the trailer house that re-cut the previous film, though while the end…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Bilge Ebiri (1,050) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 06 Aug 2021

With its incessant profanity, ridiculous body count, and trollish sense of humor, Gunn’s film often seems content to exist in a constant…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Original-Cin (1,156) on 05 Aug 2021

The Suicide Squad, Gunn’s sequel to David Ayer’s poorly reviewed first try at the tale of a group of super-villains forced to be good…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Johnny Oleksinski (478) for New York Post (6,650) on 05 Aug 2021

Unlike Zack Snyder’s Justice League, there is nothing serious about The Suicide Squad. That’s a good thing…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Soren Andersen (496) for The Seattle Times (964) on 05 Aug 2021

Gunn masterfully mixes humor and bloodshed and manages to give a surprising number of characters room to develop their personas…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By David Sims (534) for The Atlantic (1,046) on 05 Aug 2021

The Suicide Squad is very funny, bleakly self-aware, and shockingly violent—a refreshing mix of familiar conventions and gory satire…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Pat Padua (495) for Washington Post (9,851) on 05 Aug 2021

What drags this “Squad” down to the dreary level of Ayer’s vision is the tone of Gunn’s film, which is more violent and less…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Richard Whittaker (567) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 05 Aug 2021

Suicide Squad just never quite has the heart of Guardians…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 05 Aug 2021

This one’s good! Also supergory, merrily heartless in its body count and its methods of slaughter. And funny…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Richard Lawson (539) for Vanity Fair (761) on 05 Aug 2021

The Suicide Squad walks about as far up to the line of the indecent as is perhaps possible for a film of this size right now, which makes…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 05 Aug 2021

I don’t know if I’ll ever be a connoisseur of kill-shot comedy, but director James Gunn at least makes it somewhat palatable…

Review of The Suicide Squad (2021)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for The New York Times (9,847) on 05 Aug 2021
