Minor spoilers ahead for The Suicide Squad (but if you weren’t interested in watching the movie especially after the sexist 2016 version, perhaps this review will sway you!) The Suicide Squad movie has just released in both theaters and on HBO Max streaming. It is an indirect sequel to 2016′s Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer.

How many times has it been mentioned that Keanu can't act but mentioned in a loving, affectionate way. Like, 'aw, he tri...
