‘Birds of Prey’ is as eclectic and scatterbrained as its narrator, Harley Quinn
By Zach Goins February 8, 2020 Four years ago, trailers for Suicide Squad promised the world a raunchy, hardcore and eclectic supervillain team-up movie. There was only one problem: the end result was something else entirely. Simply put, it was one of the year’s worst...
