	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Dan Jolin Empire	"Like Avengers Assemble forced through a Deadpool mangle,''Suicide Squad' gives new life to DC’s big-screen universe (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"It chases after the nihilistic swagger of 'Deadpool' and the anarchic whimsy of 'Guardians of the Galaxy' but trips over its own feet (...) For a film about a gang of outlaw brawlers, 'Suicide Squad' is awfully careful to stay inside the lines."	NEU
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"There’s both undeniable sincerity and an over-the-top punk rock vibe to writer/director David Ayer’s completely bonkers ode to supervillains (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"The Joker and Harley Quinn steal the show in this DC Comics-style riff on 'The Dirty Dozen' (...) Despite its nonsensical story and not-nearly-impudent-enough tone, 'Suicide Squad' stands to become one of the summer’s biggest hits"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"A puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is, Suicide Squad assembles an all-star team of supervillains and then doesn’t know what to do with them"	NEG
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"A rude antidote to dull superheroics and epic running times (...) this crew is a riot, and their world is intriguing and even a little meaningful (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Edward Douglas New York Daily News	Fans will probably appreciate Suicide Squad for trying something different (...) but the weaker characters and generally weak plot keep it from being one of the better comic book movies (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"These heroes may be bad, But their movie is even worse"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"'Suicide Squad' does have its moments of beautiful comic-book visuals.... Those are just tantalizing hints of a better movie that never materialized (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s a clotted and delirious film, with flashes of preposterous, operatic silliness. But it doesn’t have much room to breathe; there are some dull bits, and Leto’s Joker suffers in comparison with the late Heath Ledger (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Audiences complained that 'Batman v Superman' was too dark and depressing. So director-writer David Ayer (...) counters with light and candy-assed. I call bullshit. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
