Life incarcerated or life on the line, for the DC super villains, placing their life in danger for a reduced sentence seems to be the best option.
Warner Bros has just released Suicide Squad 2 (aka The Suicide Squad). An anti-superhero sequel that sees baddies do good things. But not by choice.
They are implanted with an explosive device that can be triggered at anytime by their enforcer, the steely cold s Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) who is the director of A.R.G.U.S. in charge of the Task Force X program.
Suicide Squad 2 sees a new Squad assembled together with Weasel, Captain Boomerang, T.D.K, Savant, Javelin and lead by Col. Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman).
But should things go awry there’s a back up that also includes Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) along with Peacemaker (John Cena), Polka-Dot Man (David Dastmalchian), King Shark (Sylvester Stallone), Rat Catcher 2 (Daniela Melchior) and Bloodsport (Idris Elba).
There’s unrest on the South American island of Corto Maltese where a military Dictator Mateo Suárez (Joaquín Cosío) has taken rule of the nation, murdering the prior ruling family dynasty.
This new Governance is fiercely anti-America and this has the US authorities worried and the only way to infiltrate this new regime is to locate The Thinker (Peter Capaldi) and team up with local rebel fighters.
But there’s more going on on this island with an extraterrestrial twist.
The humor, action is resumed, if not ramped up in this sequel, mixed with blood and gore.
I still love the first Suicide Squad film (2016) and traditionally sequels don’t quite live up to their predecessor. Suicide Squad 2 bucks that trend and has the jump on the first film.
Loved. Go see it.
