Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Welcome to hell—a.k.a. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the US of A. Where the worst Super-Villains are kept and where they will do anything to get out—even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. Today’s do-or-die assignment? Assemble a collection of cons, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and everyone’s favorite psycho, Harley Quinn. Then arm them heavily and drop them (literally) on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Trekking through a jungle teeming with militant adversaries and guerrilla forces at every turn, the Squad is on a search-and-destroy mission with only Colonel Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave…and Amanda Waller’s government techies in their ears, tracking their every movement. And as always, one wrong move and they’re dead (whether at the hands of their opponents, a teammate, or Waller herself). If anyone’s laying down bets, the smart money is against them—all of them.”

Got the characters pretty much right Margo Robbie’s Harley Quinn showed her limited code of ethics, by not liking one of the bad guy’s plans to hurt children. At least that was something, compared to the others her and Rat Catcher 2 were the only ones to show any type of moral boundaries.
Not for children. Sadly, Warner Brothers isn’t producing superhero films that can be enjoyed by audiences young an old alike.
Moral rating: Offensive / Moviemaking quality: 3
There is both male and female nudity and a scene where one of the Squad is in his underwear. In that scene it is clear that he has a double penis (two separate bulges are shown in different directions), obviously played for laughs as well.
Overall the film was truly terrible from both a moral perspective and a cinematic one. Gunn’s humor worked in “Guardians of the Galaxy” but with no constraint his humor largely consist of juvenile putrid shock and potty humor. Please avoid this movie at all cost.
