This is what happens when the comic book fanboys have taken over the asylum. It is damaged goods from the get-go, the kind of film grown in a petri dish in Hollywood.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
To say that the movie loses the plot would not be strictly accurate, for that would imply that there was a plot to lose.
If I have not yet convinced you of the movie's astonishingly slipshod quality, I'm unlikely ever to do so.
Writer-director David Ayer doesn't have the right graphic technique for a comic-book-style jamboree -- he's strictly a noirish-pulp guy -- and the characters, all of whom are promisingly introduced, fizzle fast.
Regrettably, the film's place-setting opening lays the scene for a different, more exciting film that never really unfolds.
