Castoff superheroes - the scum of the DC Universe - save the world. Again. Starting out, the gang includes stoic tough guy Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), nutso punk Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and a bunch of other characters who mostly don't survive the first reel. Then it turns out there's a second gang of commandos that includes two sharpshooters (one black and one white), a girl called Ratcatcher 2 (she has a way with rodents), and a shark played by Sylvester Stallone. The shark is always hungry and goes around saying "num num" all the time and will chow down on anything that crosses its path. I'm not making this up, but somebody else did. It's mostly a lot of fun - a rough, silly, crazy, violent, comical good time. Oh, and there's a weasel. It's a mean, mad-looking weasel. You could get rabies just looking at that weasel. I wish they'd done more with the weasel.
