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.

The Gentleman(English) - Review

Guy Ritchie never got his due recognition after Snatch. Even for Sherlock Holmes movies, RDJ walked away with accolades. But Guy Ritchie went on to make Man from UNCLE, King Arthur, Aladdin and yet not much recognition. Then he comes up with The Gentleman, a movie belonging to his favorite genre.

With the danger of sounding blasphemous let me say The Gentleman is on par with Snatch and Lock Stock and two smoking barrels if not better. Firstly the star cast is spot on. Casting Matthew McConaughey in that role and giving him a look of a loser is the best plot twist. 

Then comes Hugh Grant in a role written where you are bound to hate him. He excels too. Who could expect Charlie Hunnam can carry an entire movie on his shoulders with this uber stylish looks. One can say he has arrived in a dapper style. And Colin Farrell with his boys are the usual soft spot in Guy Ritchie's movies. 

There is a scene in the movie where Matthew talks about tea and immediately the mob boss makes an exhausted sound and asks "did you come here to talk about tea?" That shows the self awareness of Guy Ritchie and of course his genius writing skills too. The efficient use of music is his another big plus. In the climax when Matthew gets into his car and the music starts that was so awesome. The screenplay of the movie is inspiring. It even gets it humor right. 

Overall, I can safely say that The Gentleman is Guy Ritchie's best movie till date.
