Task force x

I went to see The Suicide Squad at Cineworld. I would class this as a sequel. Some old faces return and new ones are introduced. James Gunn directs. Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Flula Borg, Pete Davison, Viola Davis, Peter Capaldi, Sylvester Stallone, Sean Gunn, Nathan Fillion, Joel Kinnaman, David Dastmalchian, Daniela Melchior, Taika Waititi, Alice Braga, Michael Rooker, Jai Courtney, Storm Reid amongst others star in this film. It does contain gratuitous violence, gore, sex, swearing and nudity. Some nice boobs on display. If you enjoy The Boys then you might like this. Task Force X have been sent to an island. There have been top secret experiments happening there. They must destroy the lab and all the evidence. The local government stands in their way. Surprised at how it pans out in the beginning for some of the characters. It had been getting praise. Good use of visual graphics and special effects. Nice soundtrack. There is a TV series happening too. Daniela and Margot are hot. Impressive fight scenes. Good humour. A great cast of actors that includes the extras and stunt team. The CW would not be able to get away with half the shit. I haven't seen the Harley Quinn show that is amusing from a few of the clips that I have seen. Interesting to see what others think. I decided to watch David Ayer's Suicide Squad again. I had no problem with it. Downloaded another song from the soundtrack.

YARDIE is a crime drama directed by Idris Elba. Cert 15. Starts off in Jamaica where there is a gang war. The protagonist is narrating. Idris was behind the soundtrack. Based on the book. See the ads for the recommendations. Some familiar faces. I'm sure some of the dialogue will be hard to understand. You might like the soundtrack. My cousins listened to Reggae. Good cinematography. D has seen tragedy. His brother tried to reunite people. Mirrors what Bob Marley did. One of the gang leaders takes him under his wing. He is later sent to London to run an errand. He does have run ins with other gangs. Rico is the man he meets in London. Stephen Graham also stars. Speaks in patois.  Ivonne lives in London. She grew up in Jamaica. Vanessa is the daughter that Dennis hasn't seen in a long time. Set in the 80s. Interesting locations. Great cast of actors. A story about love, loss and revenge. It is not right to glorify criminals.
