Birds Of Prey Review: 7 Ups & 3 Downs

2. The Terrific Ensemble Cast

There's not a single dud performance in the entire movie, and while some of the supporting cast members feel somewhat underserved by the material, the ensemble nevertheless brings their A-game to the table.

Aside from Robbie and McGregor, Jurnee Smollett-Bell is especially great as the strong-headed Black Canary, while Rosie Perez is a hoot as the exasperated Renee Montoya, Ella Jay Basco makes for an amusingly irreverent Cassandra Cain, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead is hilarious as the almost Drax-like Huntress.

Now that these characters have been introduced to the audience, hopefully a sequel can devote more time to developing them as characters, because the cast clearly deserves it.
