It's open season on Harley Quinn when her explosive breakup with the Joker puts a big fat target on her back. Unprotected and on the run, Quinn faces the wrath of narcissistic crime boss Black Mask, his right-hand man, Victor Zsasz, and every other thug in the city. But things soon even out for Harley when she becomes unexpected allies with three deadly women -- Huntress, Black Canary and Renee Montoya.

Critics Consensus

With a fresh perspective, some new friends, and loads of fast-paced action, Birds of Prey captures the colorfully anarchic spirit of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn.

3/4

Kinetic, silly, candy-colored, and hyperviolent, Birds of Prey is a serious treat for fans of comic book films. But it wouldn't work without the equal parts goofy, hilarious, and unhinged performance of its lead.

Ultimately, the plot is as messy as its central character, trotting around with one shoe and a bacon sandwich in hand, but it's also a whole bunch of glittery, satisfying fun -- especially the unkempt, cheerful, chaotic energy of Harley Quinn.

Birds of Prey is a fruity cocktail of a movie. It goes down smooth, makes you giddy, and there's the possibility of a slight hangover.

Margot Robbie is the best thing to have happened to the DC Extended Universe.

Birds of Prey is a breath of fresh air in an already predictable landscape of superhero fare. This film is evidence that dark and distressing subject-matter can be dealt with in a poignant manner, and without it being too on-the-nose.

4/5

Birds of Prey does not have, or aim for, the serious, pretentious tone of Joker; instead, it’s a punchy, frenetic romp that would be ideal for kids if it wasn’t so deliberately scuzzy...

One of the better DC films. Margot Robbie is amazing as Harley. Wished the villain was a little more menacing.

Harley Quinn is always fun on screen but people will forget this movie happened. Hopefully one day the DCEU can cleanly fit these films together.

A lot better than a lot. Though it is dominated by women, it did not come off as a chick flick. Margot Robbie and Ewen McGregor were great.

This movie was a fun watch! If there is an opportunity to have a part 2, I would watch.
