David Ayer directed 2016’s Suicide Squad, which made $746,846,894 but was not met with a great reception. RT critics have it at 27% with the audience rating it slightly higher at 59%. When the film first came out, Ayer defended it, tweeting a quote that translated to “I’d prefer to die standing, than to live always on my knees.” He said it was “my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life.”
