Yeah, I'm not going to lie to you, I was excited to watch another Suicide Squad movie after the powerhouse Batman: Assault on Arkham. The story of Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay is surprisingly thoughtful at its core with the matter of deserving to go to heaven when especially when you've spent your entire life doing things to surely make you end up in hell showing up when the squad and their enemies all go after this magical card to get out of hell free.
But I juist felt like the performances done by the actors lacked energy and that this great story element of going to heaven and redeem yourself wasn't explored enough.
The animation was pretty uninspired and generic in every way, but I'll give it that in this story where death is a central theme, you will have to prepare yourself for the departure of any character which is kind of a bold move. And the violence is not hidden and is more graphic and detailed here than in many other of these animated DC movies.
All in all, SQ: Hell to Pay is kind of dull without the upbeat nature found in earlier renditions, but is surprisingly thoughtful and takes risks we don't see every day in this kind of movie.
