I am very confused. Out of all the DC Comics movies on Warner Bros’ recently revealed slate, I would never have pegged Suicide Squad to be getting as much attention and star power as it is. While a staple at the comics publisher for decades, Suicide Squad has never really been A-list. In fact, the whole premise behind it is …

When word broke recently that not only had Warner Bros officially tapped David Ayer to do a Suicide Squad adaptation as part of their DC Comics lineup, but that they were also setting their sights on the very top of the Hollywood A-list when it came to casting, most fans experienced a mix of responses. Namely, “WHOO HOO!!” followed swiftly …

Well, damn. Looks like it’s on now. Yesterday, Warner Bros essentially pulled off the modern Hollywood studio version of walking up to Marvel, slapping them in the face with a silk glove and declaring a duel when they released their DC Comics movie lineup all the way up to 2020. Not so much “pistols at dawn” as it is “Superheroes …

Gritty. A word that seems to be on the lips of far too many producers and Hollywood execs these days, especially when it comes to Warner Bros’ DC Comics properties. We’ve recently heard the rumour that DC was going full gritty (you never go full gritty) by declaring a “No jokes” policy, which is rather silly as several of their …

Though he had a great solid run culminating in the Oscar winning Training Day and superb 2012 standout End of Watch, writer/director David Ayer had real misstep with his last outing, Sabotage. Did I say “misstep”? I meant drunkenly falling face first into cow dung. But Ayer appears to be back in winning form with Fury, a WWII tank movie that sees Brad Pitt leading a …

With movies like Training Day, End of Watch, Harsh Times and (unfortunately) Sabotage under his belt, it’s clear that writer-director David Ayer has a thing for telling tales about the men involved in modern law enforcement. Come this November though, Ayer will be upgrading a bit, going from tanking leading men to actual tanks, and from a war on crime to the biggest war …

The border between badass and just bad is a sketchy piece of geography, and one that writer-director David Ayer unfortunately crosses so many times in Sabotage that he’s probably eligible for a greencard. This surprisingly disappointing follow-up to Ayer’s superb End of Watch may boast one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s finest dramatic performances since he began fulfilling his promise of being back, but …

We’ve already seen a couple trailers and clips – a few of them Red Band – for David Ayer’s Sabotage, but they have mainly focused on the film’s explosive violence, usually perpetrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s because he has a thing for explosive violence (see major movie releases 1982 to present). But the guy is also (mostly) human, and so we …
