What kind of watch this is
James Gunn directs a 132-minute action-comedy where a squad of incarcerated villains drops onto a hostile island. The hook is simple: they are expendable. Gunn treats their expendability as a comedy engine, trading on the gap between their chaotic energy and the mission’s grim stakes. It is loud, bloody, and oddly tender. The tagline says they are dying to save the world. The film suggests they are just dying, and saving the world is a side effect.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes reports a 90% approval rating and a 7.5/10 average as of August 2024. Metacritic sits at 72 out of 100, a score it categorizes as generally favorable. Katie Rife of The A.V. Club wrote that the movie pops the balloon of superhero reverence. Owen Gleiberman of Variety called it what the first Suicide Squad should have been.
How it did with audiences
The Suicide Squad cost $185 million to make. It took in $56 million in North America and $169 million worldwide. On TMDB, users rate it 7.4 out of 10. Audiences liked the movie enough to leave it be, even as the money left.
What came next for the cast
For Robbie, 2021 sits between the 2016 original and the 2023 hit Barbie. She pivoted from ensemble action to leading a cultural phenomenon. Cena swapped the 2015 comedy Daddy's Home for 2023's Fast X. Elba jumped from 2015's Age of Ultron to 2022's Love and Thunder. Kinnaman moved from 2011's Dragon Tattoo to a string of 2023 and 2024 thrillers. The credits list what happened next. They do not prove this specific film caused the shift.
