What Birds of Prey lacks in story it makes up for — mostly — in humor and action.
Margot Robbie single-handedly saves this movie from toilet of underachieving movies. And let’s face it, no one is going to see this movie for any other reason than Margot’s wickedly perfect personification of the pseudo protagonist — Harley Quinn.
The entire script revolves around giving Robbie ample opportunities to flash her psychotic smile and primal violence. And she does that exceedingly well.

Props must be given to Jonathan Eusebio.
“Who?” You ask.
“OMG! You call yourself an action/superhero movie fan and you don’t know who Jonathan Eusebio is?” Okay, I honestly didn’t either until 15 seconds ago. I had to look up the stunt coordinator for this movie because it was brilliant. Harley Quinn’s fighting style perfectly befits her personality. Turns out, you’ve seen much of Jonathan Eusebio’s work. He was the stunt/fight coordinator for John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Deadpool 2, Black Panther, Fast & Furious 8, John Wick: Chapter 2, Doctor Strange, etc.
Kapow
The Academy Awards snobbishly don’t recognize categories for stunt coordinators and stunt people in their awards, but they absolutely should. But hey, Jonathan Eusebio, I got your back. I think you deserve the first “Kapow”. (Award for best stunt coordination in a feature film given out by RunPee.)
However, despite the brilliance of the stunt work and fighting choreography, the screenplay for this movie lacks cohesion. It relies on voice-over flashbacks to provide the bulk of every character’s back story, and comes off as cartoonish. It’s not awful, but it’s far from good.
Grade: B
About The Peetimes: We only found two Peetimes, but they’re both good. Neither Peetime we chose has any action scenes or much comedy.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.
