It’s Margot Robbie’s playground, but everyone is having fun.
Of course, the positive spin on this is that the reason you want more is because you enjoy the taste you get, and that’s absolutely true in this case. Each of the film’s stars, no matter the total size of their part, makes the most of their moments, and leave a wonderful impression. Mixing together rage and a shaky confidence, Winstead’s Helena Bertinelli has a seriously weird energy, and with a back story featuring a mom who was a costumed vigilante, Jurnee Smollett-Bell’s Dinah Lance brings some interesting drama to the table. Ewan McGregor is also clearly loving every minute of acting as malicious and vile – creating some of the movie’s most surprising, but welcomed humor – and he is joined in doing so by Chris Messina’s Victor Zsasz, who seems to love getting the order to commit violence as much as he loves actually executing said violence.
