Suicide Squad

The United States government often needs deniable assets to handle threats too dangerous for standard military or intelligence units. In this universe, those assets come from the most dangerous inmates in Blackgate Penitentiary. The Suicide Squad assembles a team of incarcerated supervillains who trade their freedom for a chance at survival while undertaking high-risk black ops missions. Director David Ayer steers this chaotic ensemble through a gritty mix of action and dark comedy that defines the tone of the film.[edit]
