Warner Bros. Pictures and the newly formed DC Films are banking on David Ayer’s “Suicide Squad” to be not just a financial success, but the critical success that Zack Snyder’s “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” wasn’t this March.
So far the positive buzz is on their side, and if some tweeted reactions from an apparent test screening that took place this past week are any reaction – they’ve done it. Check out several tweeted reactions from claimed attendees below:

#SuicideSquad was the best movie I’ve seen. Just insane. I was skeptical of Cara Delevingne acting but she was pretty good.

The screening in question happened in Union City, California where test screenings are common, while the accounts themselves have been active for years and seem legitimate. “Suicide Squad” hits cinemas August 5th.
