On August 5, the superhero film by James Gunn "Suicide Squad: Mission Bash" will be released in Russia.
In the story, the members of the Squad hope to escape from the Belle Reeve prison, where the worst supervillains are kept.
For this, the heroes join a secret task force and go on a dangerous mission.
The roles in the film were played by Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, Jai Courtney, John Cena, Yuel Kinnaman and other actors.
The first reviews of the painting appeared on social networks.
Critics agree that Gunn's new tape turned out to be unusually cruel and bloody and fully corresponds to the "18+" age rating.
Suicide Squad is arguably the craziest, most extravagant, and bloody comic book film I've ever seen.
It is quite obvious that James Gunn was given complete creative freedom, ”writes one of the users on Twitter.
She stressed that the second "Suicide Squad" may seem too vile to some viewers, but she herself was not embarrassed by what she saw.
“A lot of violence (of course).
A lot of blood.
Not for the squeamish.
I don’t care about all this, but I understand why some scenes can seem unnecessarily unpleasant.
But the film knows its stuff.
People wanted a painting with a solid R rating, and they got it, ”said the author.
Another blogger spoke positively about the violent scenes and praised the plot with many unpredictable twists.
Suicide Squad is incredible!
An uncompromising superhero / comic goldmine.
An unpredictable plot, full of risks and unique in terms of style.
And the film is cruel and hilarious.
The action scenes are just insane, ”the message says.
#TheSuicideSquad is fantastic!
A no holds barred, superhero / comics bonanza.
Unpredictable in story, unique in style & full of risks.
It's also violent & hilarious.
Action set pieces are insane.
Idris Elba, Margot Robbie & rest of cast are awesome.
@JamesGunn has done it again.

Many critics note the humor, which is a lot in the film, as well as the good balance between funny and serious.
According to the first reviews, along with all the mischief presented on the screen, there are emotional moments in the tape - both kind and sincere, as well as tragic.
“I really liked Suicide Squad.
As you might expect, he is funny, bloody and not shy in expressions, but also deeply tragic and soulful.
There is a hidden kindness in him that I did not expect at all.
The action movie is interspersed with satire here, ”the blogger writes.
Suicide Squad is exactly the fun, daring and brutal movie we were promised.
But most of all I liked the fact that he has a heart.
Gunn maintains the perfect balance between stupid and serious, so the two complement each other perfectly.
I am delighted, ”one of the journalists said in a statement.
The Suicide Squad is as funny, irreverent and violent as promised.
What I liked best, though, was its heart.
Gunn really balances the silly and the serious in a way that the two compliment each other really well.
I dug it.
Also?
King Shark RULES.

Among the advantages of the picture, some journalists note vivid characters.
The audience's favorites were Harley Quinn performed by Margot Robbie and the Shark King voiced by Sylvester Stallone, however, judging by the reviews, enough attention was paid to other minor characters in the film.
“Gann is great at making us empathize with all these controversial characters (just like in Guardians of the Galaxy).
The difference is that here he is allowed to knock the soil out from under our feet by killing anyone, because this is not a Disney movie, ”notes the author of The Insider.
“I remember Harley Quinn and the Shark King the most, but in this film all the actors are good, without exception,” writes another blogger.
Earlier, James Gunn announced the decision to abandon computer graphics in some episodes for the sake of the style of the project.
The filmmaker set out to find practical solutions to his challenges and, apparently, succeeded in this: some note the spectacular staging of action scenes and insist that the film should be watched in cinemas.
Suicide Squad is a gorgeous, unique and unpredictable film with hilarious moments and epic action scenes.
Margot Robbie and Idris Elba did a great job with their roles, they are just fire!
The soundtrack is fantastic!
I advise you to watch in IMAX and wait for the scenes after the credits, ”- reads the message of another viewer.
#TheSuicideSquad is great!
Hilarious moments, epic action scenes, unique & unpredictable.
#MargotRobbie & @idriselba nailed their performances & are 🔥.
The soundtrack is insanely fantastic!
See it in IMAX & wait the post credit scenes.

In general, the tone of "Suicide Squad" is compared with the earlier works of Gann, which he released before his collaboration with Marvel, as well as with the films of Quentin Tarantino and Michael Mann.
Suicide Squad is a cosmic mix of action from the 1990s and exploitative films from the 1970s.
This is ultra-violence that knows its worth.
This film has a bit of Tarantino and definitely something of Michael Mann.
This is a kind of space gumbo.
He even moves almost to the rhythm of jazz, ”the author writes.
The first critics who had a chance to see the new "Suicide Squad" speak out about the picture exclusively in a positive way.
Some people even think that this project is the best ever shot from DC comics.
Suicide Squad is completely crazy!
I really liked it.
James Gunn has directed DC's most engaging film to date - visually gorgeous, action packed and bold, "said one journalist.
#TheSuicideSquad is absolutely BUCK WILD!
I enjoyed the hell out of it.
James Gunn has easily made DC's most enjoyable movie to date.
Visually stunning, action packed and full.of swagger.

The first part of the Suicide Squad series was released in 2016.
It was directed by David Eyre, who also directed Rage, Patrol and Street Kings.
The film received many negative reviews from film critics and viewers - its ratings on Rotten Tomatoes are 26% and 59%, respectively.
While journalists praised the cast and humor, the characters were considered poorly written and the plot unnecessarily confusing.
In addition, the statement of the project caused a complaint.
At the same time, the film successfully performed at the box office - with a budget of $ 175 million, its receipts amounted to $ 746.8 million.
