How was it? Well, I can relate to the suicide part of this movie title.

David Ayer, Director of "End of Watch and "Training Day", had the opportunity to subvert expectations and deliver a story that had not been done before, however, what we got was a predictable, boring mess of a movie trying to be too hip for it's own good. This cringe fest of a movie fails at nearly every to turn make itself standout and original in comparison to other superhero movies flooding the market, with the direction, cinematography and tone screamed bland and uninspired. In terms of camera work, the movie seemed to have some of the ugliest camera shakes during fight scenes and an extremely high opacity rating that made the whole film seem like it was taking place at 2:00 at night. All of that together made this movie a painful experience to look at.

In terms of narrative structure, I can't really talk about it as the movie doesn't have one. The jumbled mess of a plot makes this movie just feel like one long scene, making it just a dull rollercoaster ride. The plots constant reincorporation of a characters past and someone he cares about is so painful. We are constantly reminded that, "Hey! he has a child" making his character development center around one person and not his actual personality. Also character development was completely missing, and I didn't care about a single one of the characters. Looking at this movie, I'm not really surprised there were reshoots and script changes.

In terms of acting in this movie, it's kind of a mixed bag. Will Smith, Viola Davis and Jai Courtney (surprisingly) did a decent job, Margot Robbie, however, just played an obnoxiously annoying joke dispenser with some of the cringiest attempts at humour that I have ever seen. Now, Jared Leto as the joker had alot of controversy around it, AND had to live up to the previous performance of the late Heath Ledger. A hurdle to overcome I'm sure but he missed the mark completely for me. Playing a version of the Joker that is extremely poorly acted. Maybe it's the director or the editors fault, but his performed made him seem like a man pretending instead of him becoming the character. It also didn't help that the writing of the movie was so stale, unfunny and blatant that it seemed like it was written by HAL 9000, and doesn't have a a quality to it that doesn't feel unnatural.

The music choices used seemed like choices from a 16 year old teenaged girl would use interlaced into scenes that could of done with music that actually suited the scene or no music at all. Every choice seemed obnoxious to me. As well as that, the editing was absolutely atrocious, with either continuity issues or edits that scream out "I'm trying to be hip and cool!" with absolutely no sense.

If you enjoyed this movie, please don't let me stop you. But as for me, it's a boring mess thats been added to a pile of forgettable comic book movies.
