Suicide Squad is a 2016 American superhero film based on the DC Comics supervillain team of the same name. The film is directed and written by David Ayer and stars an ensemble cast including Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Jared Leto. The plot follows a secret government agency that recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions in exchange for reduced sentences.

Upon its release, Suicide Squad received mixed reviews from critics who praised the performances of the cast but criticized the plot and pacing of the film. However, it was a commercial success grossing over $746 million worldwide. Despite the mixed reception, the film has developed a dedicated fanbase and has spawned several spin-off projects including a sequel, The Suicide Squad, set to be released in 2021.

Suicide Squad is notable for its unique take on the superhero genre, as it focuses on the villains rather than the heroes. The film also features a diverse cast of characters and explores themes of redemption and the consequences of one's actions. Despite its flaws, Suicide Squad remains an entertaining and visually stunning film that offers a fresh perspective on the DC Comics universe.
