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.

Green room

One of the major advantages of going to a movie library is that you can find movies you have never heard of. Sometimes they turn out to be good and sometimes not so. But when they do, the pleasure of finding that lost gem is unexplainable. Green Room is one such gem. Behind the DVD case the synopsis read something like "A punk rock band is forced to fight for survival after witnessing a murder at a neo-Nazi skinhead bar." I don't even know why I picked it up after reading that synopsis now. May be the the poster of the movie made me pick it up. So if you find this movie anywhere, just pick it up and you won't regret it. But be warned it is unapologetically gory with blood oozing out , limbs getting cut and so much violence. The pacing is perfect too. Neither too fast like a normal thriller should be nor too slow to be boring. The perfect pace to get you into the mood of the setting and then take off with some spine chilling thrilling moments. If you can bear with blood and violence, then this thriller is a very good watch.
