The Netflix movie has fared much better with audiences than it did with the press, but David Ayer – who previously helmed Suicide Squad – has taken one particular verdict in good spirits.
David Ehrlich, a writer for IndieWire, called it “the single worst movie of 2017”, and Ayer was so astounded by the passionate criticism that it seems he was more than a little impressed.
He tweeted back: “This is going on my fridge. Highest compliment is a strong reaction either way.
“This is a f***ing epic review. It’s a big fun movie.”
He added: “You can sure string words together Mr. Erlich. I’d love to read any script you’ve written.”

Will Smith leads the cast of the big-budget project, which reportedly cost Netflix $90 million and has already been given a sequel.
Co-star Lucy Fry revealed to CNET of her audition with the megastar: “I was speaking gibberish, pretending to pull stuff out of Will’s head and crawling around the room, really crazed.
“At the end, I was like that either went really well or really bad.”
Naomi Rapace and Joel Edgerton also star.
