The Suicide Squad—An Overlooked and Underrated "Sequel"
Since Season 2 of Peacemaker is currently airing, let’s revisit the movie that started it all.

Zamri (Zul Ariffin) is a successful real estate consultant who owns a real estate consulting company in Kuala Lumpur at a young age. Zamri is the only child of Haji Murad and Hajah Raudhah. As an only child, Haji Murad and Hajah Raudhah place great emphasis on religious education in Zamri's life from childhood. In fact, Hajah Raudhah is a very influential independent preacher. Unfortunately, Zamri, who is seen as a good son in his parents' eyes, does not practice a healthy lifestyle in Kuala Lumpur. Zamri is exposed to a hedonistic world, swayed by the whispers and temptations of the devil. Eventually, Zamri's cover is blown when his mother, Hajah Raudhah, discovers pictures of him socializing at nightclubs. Hajah Raudhah gives Zamri two choices: either marry a girl of her choosing or be disowned by her. Although reluctant, Zamri marries Zara (Nelissa Nizam) because he wants to gain forgiveness from his parents.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, though its feminism may be unintentional, cannot exist without its focus on women reclaiming power. The movie is feminist by definition, even if Amirpour didn’t write it with that in mind. A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mesmerizing, poetic, and stunning, both for its portrayal of feminist ideas and its powerful story that is both horrific and subtly romantic at once.
Escape The Field is a serviceable horror thriller. The characters are easier to remember as horror character tropes. As I wrote this review, I only remembered the characters by their tropes: #FinalGirl, #Everyman, #Badass, #MeanB*/SexyGirl, #Realist/BlackLesbian, and #TheNerd.
This feels like the creative team wanted to make a body horror film, but the studio wanted to make another generic blockbuster.
The “gay best friend”, an age-old trope, has been done in countless films and television series. Ranging from one-note (Sex and the City's Stanford and Mario) to nuanced (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Tituss), the gay best friend exists to support and advise the main protagonist, with their conflicts swept to the side.
