The film received an approval rating of 28% based on 283 reviews collected by Rotten Tomatoes with the site’s critical consensus reading, “Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren’t enough to save the disappointing end result from a muddled plot, thinly written characters, and choppy directing.”
