Absolutely Brilliant!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

In 2014 we were given a PG-13 animated movie called Assault on Arkham. It was a fun movie with twists and plenty of comedic moments and of course the Harley and Deadshot relationship. Spin forward straight past 2016 to 2018 and we are given another excellent yet different Suicide Squad movie.This time around we are given an R rated version of the squad that has an all around darker tone. Gone are the cute quips, except for Harley who surprisingly is really only a background comic relief character. This group is mainly headlined by Deadshot, the crook with a heart, and Bronze Tiger, the good man turned vigilante. These two were enjoyable to watch butting heads especially with Boomerang constantly making things worse. The whole group dynamic was great seeing that more than four characters had a good amount of screen time.Hell to Pay was darker than I was expecting it to be. I know it was rated R but so was Justice League Dark and there wasn't too much there to warrant that rating. This however does as some of the scenes where just brutal for animated standards. Not only the action but Deadshot's character arc is dark.A Suicide Squad movie tends to be interesting when the team's members start flipping their alliances and are put in tight situations where the bad guys have to check their moral compasses. This movie definitely delivers in those departments. That is another benefit to these animated movies, they are not really marketed in no shape or form like the live action. As in viewers will actually be surprised at the twists when they unfold. This movie actually has twists and character inclusions that I wasn't expecting and was overjoyed to see. Hell to Pay is a great addition to the DC lineup and should be seen by DC fans or people who enjoy a good heist movie.

Hell to pay? Nobody who suffers through this will ever have to go to hell. Watching this is worth an eternity of damnation.This is more of the DC universe pulled thinner by unimaginative creators working for a quick pay check.The voice acting is weak and by the numbers. There's a mellow voiced goth girl, a growling whisperer, a posh semi British guy - all the stereotype voices are present.The movie is full of dull situations that make no sense. A super villain rides a villain train. People break in to kill him. He has no mechanism to separate his car, near the front, from the rest of the train. What?The story mocks Christianity. Of course has leftist themes and references - the only example given of sexual misconduct in Washington is a Republican story - hey, that big one with President Clinton getting a BJ under the WH desk is out there, leftist folks.This is bad bad bad x10 bad and even more bad.

This is spoler free version.1. Animation and pace is awful, same goes for jokes and "funny scenes". It has been made so badly that it is even hard to watch. TO be fair 70% of my bad rating is just for quality of animation, it's like technologies goes more advance so you would assume that it would be easier to make better animation but nope. But NO, I'm not just complaining about quality, but more about how it is put together when you have a lot of awkward silence and just badly executed jokes, it just made all characters like not using their potential and from latest I have seen Gasoline light and "Batman and Harley Quinn" and both from animation perspective was better .2. Plot was ...too much overused props (story-wise) , badly put together and nothing that would exciting or eye catching. I can recommend this only to fans, as any expansion of DC cinematic/animation universe is great thing but it would be so much better if they would put more effort as it seems they don't even try. Yeah, I'm harsh but thats how I see this, so I'm really hoping Batman Ninja will be amazing and will make forgot this. (need to wait for uk release).

This is a fun little adventure that doesn't live up to the heights of the first animated Suicide Squad film, Assault on Arkham, but certainly stays truer to the spirit of the comics than the live action version.The best part of this film is probably how it adds to the ongoing animated DC universe. There are lots of moving parts to the story and the introduction of some new characters, while the expected few also play a major role. Without going into spoilers you will definitely want to check this film out if you have been following the developing world spread across these movies.Overall this is a fun adventure that sticks to the spirit of the squad, there are a lot of great characters, actions and deaths to keep any fan happy, and the steaks stay relatively high throughout.
