Joel Kinnaman, who plays Colonel Rick Flagg in DC's "Suicide Squad," shared that the negative reviews that the film received did more good than harm. He thinks that the reviews helped lower the expectations of fans and helped the team achieve its main goal of entertaining people. Despite the many haters, the movie still managed to top the foreign box office and still gained adoration by some.
"Suicide Squad" was made with the ambition to entertain its audience. Kinnaman pointed out that there were no political aspirations attached to the film. In an interview with Vulture, the actor said that all the negative reviews actually had a silver lining. He observed that fans enter the theaters setting low expectations for the movie but end up being delighted or surprised in the end after seeing that the movie wasn't all that terrible.
As of date, Reuters reported that "Suicide Squad" garnered and estimate of $58.7 million in 62 territories which pushed its global gross to an average of $465.4 million. The film managed to top the foreign box office charts for two consecutive weeks. But since Warner Bros. Studio's has spent a lavish amount on the film, it needs to continue generating more income for the studio to turn a profit.
If what Kinnaman believes is true, "Suicide Squad" would be able to fight off the bad reviews it has been receiving. The actor highlighted that despite the number of haters, he and his co-stars have gained a lot of support and admiration from those who appreciate the film. There is a disparity of opinions and the actor said despite it all, he is happy with how the film turned out.
