Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

"After the public success (and critical failure) of 'Suicide Squad', Warner Bros. brings back Margot Robbie to the role of Harleen Quinzel in 'Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)'. Although it tries to correct all the mistakes of the previous one, the derivative feature film maintains the accelerated pace and dynamic editing, in the style of a music video. The script has its ups and downs, which can be a bit confusing if you're not paying close enough attention. The direction is by Cathy Yan ('Dead Pigs'), while the script is by Christina Hodson ('Bumblebee') - who together bring an important look and subtext about abusive relationships. In addition to Harley Quinn, who is the star of the movie and has much more screen time, the cast brings important additions to the DC Extended Universe: police officer Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez, from 'White Men Can't Jump'), the Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead, from 'Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'), Black Canary (Jurnee Smollet-Bell) and Cassandra Cain (newcomer Ella Jay Basco). The villain is Black Mask, the famous Batman antagonist, in a good performance by Ewan McGregor ('Trainspotting'). It's certainly not for everyone, but it will please those who like Harley Quinn and the aforementioned language seen in 'Suicide Squad'."
