Suicide Squad 2 - Movie Review

Streaming: HBOMAX Suicide Squad 1 was one of the finest DC movies(Minus Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy) to come out from their camp. Do not go by the reviews. It was so well received that Harley Quinn had her own movie. Now cut to Suicide Squad 2 with the famous James Gunn from Marvel camp at the helm, it barely meets the expectations.  Marvel made it seem so easy to write a super hero movie in super entertaining fashion with movies like Winter Soldier, Thor Ragnorak, Guardians of the Galaxy etc. But DC thought all they needed was the guy who directed Guardians to sell Suicide Squad. Oh my oh my how they were wrong. In one phrase, Suicide Squad is a gross mess that shines few times and far in between. Suicide Squad is no Guardians, not even close. The screenplay is messy. The visuals are gross but it aint Kill Bill. Kill Bill romanticizes with violence but Suicide Squad tries to romanticize with gross elements. To say the least, it doesn't work in favor of the movie.

Get the gringo - Review

For the uninitiated, it's a Mel Gibson movie(Both starring and producing) but no, it is not as huge as a movie as Apocalypto or Brave heart. So the question that is pestering me is "but why?". The only answer I could come up with is may be Mel is trying to reinvent himself as action hero, remember the Lethal Weapon days. All that movie trivia aside, coming to "Get the gringo", it is a different genre altogether. It is 90% in Mexico but it is not like "Once upon a time in Mexico" or "From Dusk till Dawn". It is in Mexico prison which in itself is an altogether new and thrilling setting. The prison in itself was given a character that drives the script. How Mel comes there and how he comes out, with flying colors is the movie. It is not a complete action movie though the setting might fool you in the beginning. It is a semi-thriller and semi-action. I should say Mel Gibson still has it in him except when he is not hamming away which he does very less in this movie. I know that not many would have heard about this movie and again that is another surprise. But trust me on this and pick up this dvd, a very different movie and a good one too. Remember Mel Gibson does not produce junk and he produced this.
