'The Suicide Squad' Is Gory, Gratuitous, but Great
'The Suicide Squad' is at its best when it focuses on its characters and commentary on real-life issues, but stumbles when it relies too heavily on gratuitous gore and insensitive humor.

When Max Dangerfield's anger issues get her strapped with $25,000 in fines, she's completely lost on how to dig herself out. Luckily, her two best friends Charlotte and Spence have an idea. The internet show sensation 'Balloon Shop' is having a pickleball tournament with a huge cash prize. The only problem - none of them know what pickleball is. With an array of unhinged new friends support, Max and her new partner Lexi are ready to take it all on. The only wall in their way is Rachel Summers. The token town mean girl with a vendetta aimed right at Max's forehead. Rachel hires a 5 time tournament winning pickleball player as her partner to ensure Max and Lexi stand no chance at all. So, with the odds stacked against them the gang have no choice but to give it everything they've got.

Hustlers was meant to be a film about female empowerment. And it was, to a certain extent. I expected and wanted this to be a kickass and complex film of sexy women who use their confidence, skills, and wits towards a brilliant plan to get revenge on the Wall Street guys who wronged them.
