DECEMBER 24 – THE SUICIDE SQUAD *Movie Premiere*

• Described as “very funny, bleakly self-aware, and shockingly violent - a refreshing mix of familiar conventions and gory satire” by The Atlantic, THE SUICIDE SQUAD drops on Crave Friday, Dec. 24. Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the country, houses the worst Super-Villains, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin, and Harley Quinn. When the prisoners join Task Force X in exchange for their freedom, they are heavily armed and dropped on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese to destroy evidence of the giant alien starfish Starro the Conqueror. The film stars an ensemble cast including Margot Robbie, Idris Elba, John Cena, Joel Kinnaman, Sylvester Stallone, Viola Davis, and Pete Davidson.
