I went to see Suicide Squad before work today. There are many critics that have been panning this movie but I liked it. The movie itself was a fun ride. A good popcorn chomping action movie. The performance that Will Smith gave in this movie was so much better than anything seen in the Batman vs. Superman movie. He put heart into the character of Deadshot. Despite Deadshot being a villain he was someone that you could identify with. His motivation is to help his daughter. Like any father he wants his daughter to see him as a decent person. He is a killer, however he has a code and he provides the heart of the team.

The other character that gives a great performance is Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. She provides most of the comic relief for the movie. Her crazy antics and her constant “yes” attitude also motivates the team. There are good moments between Smith and Robbie, too. They carry the movie but there are other characters that have some great moments as well.

Viola Davis is Amanda Waller. She give the perfect performance as that character. She is tough, manipulative and smart. She knows how to make a team of killers, metahumans and crazy people do what she wants. She wants to protect her country and will do whatever it takes to do it. Her methods are extreme and unflinching. That is the character of Amanda Waller and whether you like that character or not she gets things done.
