VOD: Birds Of Prey (dir: Cathy Yan, 2020)

"It's not a party without a little drama - am I right?"

Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn gets her own fully-justified spin-off from Suicide Squad in a movie that is a bit less generic than its originator but still wends its way down a well-trodden path.  This movie is all about the main character and Robbie is never less than captivating, to the extent that no-one else really gets a look-in, and whilst it does not exactly wear out its welcome, the film's one-note tone does become a little numbing for its long running time.  Nevertheless, Birds of Prey is a spirited and worthwhile addition to the emerging DC stand-alone stable.
