THE GIST: After breaking up with the Joker, Harley Quinn no longer enjoys the protection that came with her famous and feared boyfriend, so all those she ever wronged are out for blood. To top it off, a little girl with trust issues might be her only way to salvation.After bursting onto the scene in the first Suicide Squad movie, a standalone feature for Harley Quinn was hastily greenlit.
I actually liked her first outing more than this origin story, because that plot is richer, but this movie is certainly a guilty pleasure if you liked Quinn and are looking for a new helping.
Margot Robbie is an actress I only recently discovered but she's already become a favorite of mine. Here she's joined by Rosie Perez (she's all right), Ewan McGregor (he seems to be enjoying the role of the villain), and Chris Messina (he steals any scene he's in).
THE BOTTOM LINE: From the relentless action set to the tune of a pumping score to the brilliant and flashy colors of costumes and sets, this is certainly enjoyable, but if you think it might be too much for you just by looking at the poster, then you're probably right.
