(Addressing what was going on on-set, good lord that is not how you direct a movie. You might have one loose cannon of an actor, but in this case the director was joining in. What the hell.)

This movie was comparable to the Punisher in quality and story. The Dolph Lundgren Punisher.

I could watch Margo Robbie eat toast for two hours.

If they are going to do weak backstories on everyone, and fill them all full of cliches, I would have rathered they just started the movie and didn't have a single flashback. Build the characters through story. Such as when they were all sitting in the bar discussing their crimes. One of the only cohesive scenes in the movie.

Up until now Ayer has done a number of small character driven movies such as End of Watch. This movie contained none of the touch that made him marketable as a director. The smart move for him, in terms of his career, would be to admit himself into rehab (as a way of explaining to the world what the hell happened here).

This movie successfully ruined Enchantress as a potential villain in a Justice League Dark. How can you not make an undead possessing witch scary? Go watch the Conjuring, give the witch superpowers, and then come back and make this movie again.
