The Suicide Squad (out Aug 5) is as good as the 2016 original was bad. It's got creative violence, insane surprises, and a great sense of humour. It's taking a lot of chances for a $185m blockbuster (studios often play it safer) and credit belongs to writer-director James Gunn for bringing it all together. Grade: A-.
