Suicide Squad

If you are looking for a movie with a deep plot and Oscar caliber performances, go see Captain Fantastic.  However, if you want to see a truck load of bizarre characters kicking butt with lots of explosions and a dash of humor, this the movie you have been waiting for.  It was nice to see Will Smith back in a watchable movie playing  a  “heartless” assassin, a role that  suits him well.  Margot Robbie and Jared Leto are dementedly twisted as devoted lovers who just can’t keep away from each other.  The biggest surprise for me was Viola Davis as a tough government official who has an intriguing and pretty far out plan to protect the planet.  The plot is very simplistic and you will probably see the ending coming from a mile away, but who cares?  This was my last day of freedom before I go back to teaching and this movie was the perfect way to end the summer with a mindless BANG!  By the way, if you go, stay until about half way through the credits for a little preview of the next Batman movie with Ben Affleck.
