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.

Jason Bourne

Yes, Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass are back for another installment of Bourne. Paul Greengrass and his team of writers are the ones that helped the series garner the craze. Bourne series is synonymous to Pacy edge of the seat spy thriller because of them. So they try to retain that edge of the seat pace in tact in this new installment too. But they let the script go haywire. It is plain silly. Also the scenes highlighting or elevating Bourne and his talent are seriously missing in this one. Add to that all the cliches from last three parts. Tommy Lee Jones is wasted in a unidimensional cliched role. Alicia looked so zoned out through out. Damon as usual is at his best. You have the same awesome chases, shaky camera close ups and fist fights well supported by a subtle yet thumping bgm. One side note here is that I am amazed that someone can show Vegas Strip so deglam. 
Overall it ends up as an okay watch and that too because of the breakneck pacing it has.
