10 Most Visually Arresting Moments In The DCEU
5. An Unconventional Way To Capture A Fight - The Suicide Squad
The Suicide Squad was considerably better than its 2016 predecessor, and this was due to James Gunn’s stylized direction, game performances from its cast and an unwavering commitment to its R-rated tone.
The latter in particular helped the action feel all that more visceral, and Gunn’s flair for stylized imagery made it both interesting to look at as well as appropriately hard-hitting. This was seen in the fight between Peacemaker and Rick Flag that followed the chaotic destruction of the Jotunheim facility.
Flag decides to expose the horrific truth about the facility and the US' involvement in it, but is immediately confronted by Peacemaker, who is under Amanda Waller's specific commands. where the combatants’ brutal brawling was seen reflected on the former’s helmet.
It was a precursor to a brutal brawl between the two, but also served as a brief yet interesting visual flourish in a movie filled to the brim with them.
