Suicide Squad: 28 WTF Moments

9. The Top Secret MacGuffin

Suicide Squad WTF

The worst moment in the entire script - and it has a LOT of work to do to be that - comes when Amanda Waller has been kidnapped by the Enchantress and Rick Flag asks the quad to help.

Deadshot literally stumbles upon a folio in a crashed helicopter - supposedly the one that rescued Waller - marked Top Secret that contains incredibly useful plot details and the secret of Rick Flag's motivations. It's just so stupid.

Why was that in there? Why would a rescue helicopter be transporting Top Secret documents? And what luck that it would be the ONE key document that helped Deadshot piece together what was really going on. That's just lazy.
