Roger Ebert

James Gunn’s 'The Suicide Squad' is a gleefully grotesque, vicious, and unapologetic ride, bringing a B-movie sense of humor and an adult level of violence to the DC universe.

Rotten Tomatoes

Gunn hasn't dulled the darker reality of his rogue's gallery either. Bloodsport and Peacemaker get into a macho contest of killing foot soldiers in increasingly theatrical and flamboyant ways...

Variety

"The Suicide Squad" gets it right, honing that rogue attitude to a much sleeker edge of outrage.

The New York Times

Joke, joke, kill, kill — that more or less sums up ‘The Suicide Squad,’ the latest installment in the DC Comics franchise.

Los Angeles Times

Emerging from this scuzzy cinematic joy-bomb from the DC Extended Universe, I found myself marveling at how you can in fact take one of the worst movies of its kind and wind up with something that, if not a masterpiece, certainly feels like one by comparison.

IGN

This irreverent, ultra-violent romp featuring F-list villains is DC’s best film in years.

IndieWire

James Gunn's wildly ultra-violent superhero movie is a mega-budget mulligan; not a reboot or a sequel so much as a second chance.

Hollywood Reporter

James Gunn’s gleefully violent new picture mostly ignores David Ayer’s 2016 dud — but isn’t a reboot. Not only does it find the nastily enjoyable vibe that eluded its predecessor, but it also tells a story worth following.
