The Suicide Squad: 22 WTF Moments

8. Peacemaker Kills Rick Flag

The second-most shocking death in the movie, just behind Captain Boomerang, is surely that of Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), who dies trying to escape Jotunheim with data incriminating the U.S. government in Project Starfish.

As he fights with Peacemaker over the data drive, Peacemaker gets the better of him by stabbing him in the heart.

And in case you figured James Gunn was going to leave his fate even mildly ambiguous, the director takes us inside Flag's chest where we can see his stabbed heart gushing blood. He's toast.

But before Flag perishes, he lets out the fitting dying one-liner, "Peacemaker. What a joke."
