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.

Mare of Easttown (HBOMAX) - Series Review

Why would you want to watch Mare of Easttown? 

Obviously, for Kate Winslet.

Who should actually watch Mare of Easttown?

Lovers of slow burn crime dramas.

Streaming: HBOMAX

Now coming to the review, Mare of Easttown is about crimes happening in a small town with so many secrets. In this town, kids are not kids, adults are not adults enough and everyone including major character is flawed. It's like the makers did not want to give any character the righteous higher standing. In short, Mare of Easttown is a story of finding a criminal in a town full of flawed people. 

Kate Winslet nails the role of a person who cruises through her life by being disconnected or by being in denial of anything she can not handle. It was a tough role that needed her experience and she nails it. Rest of the cast are all perfect. The ladies look broken but are enabled with so much of hidden resilience. The use of variety of male characterizations for the purpose of the red herring in the mystery adds a nice touch.

Overall, if you are okay with slow burn mysteries that focus more on characters and drama than the actual mystery, then do not miss this.
