David Ayer responds to the mixed reviews for Suicide Squad

August 3, 2016 by admin

Following the first batch of reviews of Suicide Squad last night – which were rather mixed to say the least – director David Ayer took to Twitter to respond saying, “I love the movie and believe in it.”

Check them out below:

Prefiero morir de pie que vivir de rodillas – Emiliano Zapata

— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 2, 2016

Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. ❤️

— David Ayer (@DavidAyerMovies) August 2, 2016

Suicide Squad currently sits at 35% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It feels good to be bad…Assemble a team of the world’s most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government’s disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself?
