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. Idris Elba is

Iru Mugan/Inkokkadu


There are some movies that are made only because the actors in it can perform those roles so well. Like Kamal's Dasavatharam, Shahrukh's Fan etc. The story does not serve any other purpose except to create a setup for the actor to showcase his acting. Iru Mugan is also on similar lines. It has an okay story but what takes the limelight here is Vikram's acting ability. His acting in the role of Love is impeccable albeit weak dialogue and characterization for that role. I wish that the director went few steps ahead and made Love cross-dress too. I am confident Vikram would have carried it off very well too. The other Vikram, Nayan, Nitya etc are just fillers in the script.

Iru Mugan is a decent action thriller with single point agenda and with an acceptable pace. The logic goes missing in few places and climax has botched up action sequences. But the movie can be watched once with no regrets for Vikram and a simple straight forward uncomplicated(pleonastic usage) action thriller.
