Talking Points:

Even though the film is filled with bad guys and violence you can find some redeeming qualities in the characters. For example Deadshot (Will Smith) is a loving father to his daughter. There is an endearing scene with the two of them before he leaves for prison. Another Squad member has deep regrets about his past crimes.

Sexual Content: Moderate

We see a couple kissing in bed together, fully clothed.
Harley, one of the female Squad members, wears a very tight, revealing shirt and short shorts. Part of her butt is exposed throughout the film. We see her passionately kiss the Joker. She suggestively licks an iron bar.

Violent/Disturbing Content: Excessive

This is a very dark and somewhat disturbing film. We see characters beaten, tortured, and shot to death.
Character’s are sliced in two, we see their heads chopped off-many are incinerated too.
There are explosions and battles throughout the film.
An innocent mom and her two children are killed.

Crude or Profane Language: Moderate
