blurb
Supervillains Harley Quinn, Bloodsport, Peacemaker and a collection of nutty cons at Belle Reve prison join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X as they are dropped off at the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese.

thoughts

This was a fair bit of fun. It interestingly felt like two films spiralling and finally colliding in that starfishy conclusion. One the Suicide Squad and the other of Harley Quinn, her style and tone was a fun juxtaposition to the main narrative.

Generally a mix of hit and miss elements and a bit of forced bonding just before the big fight. I don't think Idris Elba can be not-cool in anything. Big fan of Robbie’s Quinn too.
