Why watch this film?
The first 'Suicide Squad', released in 2016, was so controversial that even the director, David Ayer, went public to make it clear that the movie cut is not the vision he had for that story. Five years later it seems that Warner Bros. has learned the lesson: they gave total freedom for another filmmaker, James Gunn (from 'Guardians of the Galaxy'), to produce a feature film for the DC anti-hero group without any limitation from the studio executives. Far away also from Disney's reins and the need to do something more "family", the director goes to the limit of violence and acid humor in 'The Suicide Squad' - which, if it avoids the "2" in the title to avoid being seen as a continuation of a critical failure, it is also not exactly a reboot. What worked in the first movie is there, including Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, Joel Kinnaman's Rick Flag and Viola Davis's Amanda Waller. To them, a cast of weight joins, which has names like Idris Elba, Jai Courtney, Michael Rooker, John Cena, Alice Braga and Sylvester Stallone, all in hilarious and shocking performances. The script is full of ups and downs, and boredom is certainly a word that does not match the story - after all, there is no shortage of action. Those who enjoy the mix between superheroes, sarcasm and anarchy, in the style of 'Deadpool', will love it.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Some will remember that, before becoming one of the biggest fantasy movie franchises, Star Wars had a Christmas special, so hard to watch today that it has a mythical and at the same time questionable reputation. Following - and somewhat parodying - this line, Marvel Studios presents 'The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special', a television special with less than an hour of duration with a Christmas themed story. Here we resume the story after 'Avengers: Endgame', with Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) sad for the absence of Gamora (Zoe Saldana). To cheer him up, the Guardians decide to go to Earth, their home planet, to find the perfect gift. Thanks to the funny chemistry between Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Drax (Dave Bautista), it is an extremely funny production to enjoy with the family, whether you are a fan or not of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Directed again by James Gunn, who now also functions as a director for DC in theaters, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is the finale —at least theoretically— of this alignment of Guardians in theaters. Curiously, however, the focus is not on Peter Quill, the group leader portrayed by Chris Pratt, but on Rocket, the chatty raccoon played by Bradley Cooper. It is he who concentrates all the story around him when the film starts with Adam Warlock (Will Poulter), a powerful Marvel character, going after the talking animal. Rocket gets hurt and then the group must investigate the raccoon's past to save him —and, with it, the audience finally learns his story. Taking into account that this is a farewell, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is quite emotional. Starting from the union of all the characters of the group around the injured character, Gunn works elements of the script to talk about friendship, family and the importance of having people by your side. In addition to a considerable amount of footage —two and a half hours— devoted to showing a dystopian experiment with animals. The film closes the circle of James Gunn's vision for these characters. Beginnings, middle and an end that moves and entertains fans of this so different, unexpected and beloved group.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" picks up right after the events in the first movie, expanding the story of these unlikely Marvel heroes. Director James Gunn keeps the fun and action of the previous film alive in a script about the relationship between fathers and sons. Special highlights include a star-studded cast and plenty of special appearances, including Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Rob Zombie, David Hasselhoff and many others - in addition to the returns of course, of Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and an amazing Michael Rooker.
Guardians of the Galaxy
This time, Marvel Studios took a risky bet: they picked up a relatively unknown comic book team to star a blockbuster movie. The result is one of the most entertaining films from the House of Ideas, which perfectly mixes humour and action. The trick was to make the team look like a dysfunctional family, with which it is easy to identify. Total credit to director James Gunn - who also added a nostalgic 1980s vibe, mostly due to the soundtrack (which later became a Hollywood trend). Unmissable for both fans and non-fans of the studio.
Action
The Witch: Part 2. The Other One
With Kim Da-mi and Jo Min-soo. Pursued by ruthless killers, a college girl with telekinetic powers battles to survive and uncover the secrets of her past. Amid the chaos, she must face her inner demons while searching for answers and justice.
Bloodsport
Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in the descriptively titled Bloodsport. An American soldier at large in Hong Kong, Van Damme becomes involved in the Kumite, a highly illegal kickboxing competition. Whoever survives the bout will be crowned Kumite champion of the world…a title that has plenty of challengers with homicide in their hearts. The finale offers a duel to the death between Van Damme and reigning Kumite king Bolo Yeung. The script is based on the real-life exploits of martial arts champ Frank Dux, who serves as the film's fight coordinator.
War on Terror: KL Anarchy
Khalid, a rebellious cop from an elite special force must prove he is able to work as a team in order to thwart terrorist threats to bring down Kuala Lumpur.
The Order
In The Order, Van Damme plays a man accused of murder who seeks a sacred scripture in Jerusalem before it falls into the wrong hands, jeopardizing his freedom. With shades of Dan Brown and a script by Jean Claude Van Damme himself, alongside Les Weldon (screenwriter of another action star film, Replicant), the movie is what every fan of the Belgian actor wants: brawling, with a fun plot, and never boring.
