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.

Even then you can easily skip this one and forget that this was ever made, unless you are itching to watch Deepika in a Hollywood movie like I was.
