AceShowbiz - Since its early screening a few days ago, "Suicide Squad" has got mixed reviews and many of them are not exactly glowing. David Ayer who directed the DC antihero flick quickly took to Twitter to let fans know what his thoughts on the matter were.

"I'd prefer to die standing, than to live always on my knees," he quotes Mexican revolution leader Emiliano Zapata in a cryptic post before explaining, "Zapata quote is my way of saying I love the movie and believe in it. Made it for the fans. Best experience of my life. [Love emoji]."
