The premise behind this action-packed adventure is simple: a mysterious evil "Project Starfish" must be stopped so the government (represented by the incomparable Viola Davis) plucks our nation's most interesting felons and sort-of-superheroes to get the job done. In this latest film, Harley is joined by a misfit crew that includes, inexplicably, a half-shark and a weasel.
Yes, King Shark is indeed voiced by Sylvester Stallone.

If you prefer your characters big and buff, you can choose from Idris Elba as "Bloodsport" or John Cena as "Peacemaker." Does he rock that leotard, or what?
We are here!

So far, both critics and audiences are lauding the movie as a fun, action-packed ride.
Just got done watching @SuicideSquadWB, and James Gunn is an absolute madman! It’s a stylish, goofy, madcap, and emotional adventure that fully embraces its R rating. If any movie deserves a thick making-of coffee table book, it’s this one. #TheSuicideSquad pic.twitter.com/n2nPpcdozK
