"Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay"

-

The DC Universe has been churning them out lately with such films as "Justice League" and even another film featured in the blog "Batman: Gotham By Gaslight" that takes Batman to another era in 18th century London where he hunts "Jack the Ripper". Of course lets not forget the live action Suicide Squad, but this time, we go back to the roots where they're featured in animation and as always up to no good.

Amanda Waller (Vanessa Williams) has assembled The Suicide Squad consisting of leader Deadshot (Christian Slater), assassin Bronze Tiger (Billy Brown), the ice queen Killer Frost (Kristen Bauer van Straten) venomous mutant Copperhead (Gideon Emery) Aussie thief Captain Boomerang (Liam McIntyre) and the psychotic comic relief Harley Quinn (Tara Strong). Sent on an off-the-books mission, the unlikely team goes on a road trip in a camper to track down a man that goes by the name Steel Maxum (Greg Grunberg) for information. 
Tracking him down they learn of two things, one is that he use to be Doctor Fate until let Knockout (Cissy Jones) and Scandal Savage (Dania Ramirez) take a special card in which can allow a dying person to bypass hell and go straight to heaven. The second thing is Waller is not the only one searching for it. Zoom (C. Thomas Howell) the villain version of The Flash, Silver Banshee (Julie Nathanson) and Blockbuster (Dave Fennoy) are also in search of it. 
Now the team must locate Knockout and Scandal Savage before they can pass the card along to the immortal tyrant Vandal Savage (Jim Pirri) while trying not to get killed by them, or even Waller. Yet that is only half the battle, the other half is learning how to get along with each other.

Awesome action. An animated adult movie that will bring out the nerdy kid in you. This film did not disappoint when it came to it's one-liners and its no holding back guns blazing carnage. The characters are diverse and go into depth with their personal backgrounds and how human they really are behind the mask of villainy. The DC universe looks a little brighter with five G.M.Stars shining on it and it is one guaranteed to be a cult classic with fans.

For those who have been following online media and the frequent Netflix browser, you've probably have come across the name Ted Bundy recently. High School Musical's Zac Efron has taken the next step in his acting career by portraying the infamous serial killer who just happened to be born in Burlington, Vermont (true fact) and in the course of his life would go on to be a charismatic intelligent man on the surface and the last guy you would expect of killing over thirty women of various ages.
