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.

Psycho(Tamil) - Review

Mysskin is a very differently abled director. His movies has rough edges in narration but his direction abilities will totally over shadow any other mini issues in the movie. Psycho is not any different.

Psycho plays very well with the characters weaknesses and strengths. It is not an easy watch though. It has some brutal violence dealt in a very casual way suiting the mood of the movie. It gives you the creeps as intended. The actors are all alright except Aditi Rao Hydari. She is outright brilliant. It is really commendable on her part to pull off few scenes written by Mysskin very convincingly. She truly looks like an angle and acts like one too. You have to watch it to believe it.

The movie falters during the first few scenes but then it enters the main plot. From then on there is no looking back. It is a very well conceived and directed serial killer drama. There is some logic missing in few scenes and some loopholes in the script though which is always the case with Mysskin's movies. Nevertheless the mood of the movie, the character building of the main actors, and the direction make it a must watch.

From the first few scenes of the movie, I felt wow for the music director and thought whoever it is recreated the vintage Ilayaraja's feel with the music. And in the end credits the Maestro's name comes up. What can I say, he is still brilliant. #Respect.

Psycho is a bold serial killer thriller with a Mysskin's touch.
