“I dare ya.”

From Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.

After a crushing break-up with her villain boyfriend, The Joker, Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) is struggling.  Without her crime boss lover to protect her, Harley is fighting to find her sense of self, but that self-love process is severely hindered by the many people trying to get their revenge now that she on her own.  One of the biggest threats to Harley’s safety is club owner Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) and his second in command, Victor (Chris Messina), because they believe that Harley is responsible for the theft of a diamond he had recently stolen… and it’s not exactly Harley’s fault, it just seems to be her doing.  After Harley drunkenly disables Roman’s driver, the wicked club owner promotes his favorite singer, Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) to be his driver, much to her chagrin.  Shortly after becoming Roman’s driver, Canary is contacted by police detective Renee (Rosie Perez) about being an informer on Roman’s violent and illegal plans.  Canary initially turns Renee down, but when she learns that a foster girl from her apartment building, Cassandra (Ella Jay Basco), has stolen the diamond from Roman, resulting in a bounty on her head.  Trying to keep herself alive, Harley finds Cassandra in an effort to get the diamond back to Roman, but before long she finds herself looking out for the young pickpocket, especially as they are seemingly being followed by an assassin named Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).  As Roman dives deeper into his plan to control the city, Harley, Canary, Huntress, Cassandra, and Renee somehow find themselves stuck working together in a crazy, unbelievable, and slightly illegal attempt to escape with their lives.

This adult, antihero DC film follows Harley Quinn from 2016’s Suicide Squad where viewers were introduced to Robbie’s charismatic, but insane character.  This film features a very talented cast, wild sets and costumes, and a story line that is both fun and gritty.  Allowed to be the star, Robbie adds life and layers to her character while meshing perfectly with the other main characters.  While intense and dark at times, Birds of Prey is a hilariously wild ride filled with unexpected surprises that don’t disappoint.
