... obviously it's not about talent in Hollywood since 2020. Original ideas don't exist and we're stuck watching wannabe actors instead of professionals. Guess it beats CGI.

Ruby Rose...
HorrorVision16 April 2021
Cringe-worthy bad!
GCBicki16 April 2021
Ruby Rose, Morgan Freeman... One could expect something. I was seriously disappointed! This was so bad I can't recommend to watch it at all. It's not even worth going into much detail. I am more than surprised to see Morgan Freeman at his age taking part in such a terribly bad movie. Embarrassing.
So Bad It Hurts
pete-collin16 April 2021
This movie should have been strangled at birth. A pointless, vacuous trip to nowhere in particular, notable only for the tightness of Miss Rose's strides and the fact that Mr Freeman's fall from grace is so absolute that he felt he had to take on this project.
In summary, lots of people shoot at a girl on a motorbike, yet miss their target by a mile, a fate shared by the makers of this pitiful dirge.

Vanquish 2021 Review
chandean-6976216 April 2021
This movie starts off with a god damn six and a half minute long title / credit sequence ... I think it was telling me not to watch this film ... I should've listened.
Vanquish has a god-awful script that's delivered horribly by all the actors and actresses, it seemed like absolutely nobody wanted to be on set.
It's also filled with probably the ugliest editing i've ever seen in a movie with tons of fading transitions and jarring jump cuts. That combined with gross color grading thats either overly blue, or overly green and yellow that's only comparable to what Mexico looks like in Breaking Bad on steroids.
Audio mixing also seemed to be a problem, some scenes you can hear a knife swinging around or money flipping through a counting machine more than you can hear a person talking.
Vanquish is just horribly made. It's a gross visual experience with an extremely cliché story and terrible acting.
I don't usually like to trash movies like this but holy ... this was bad.

Please stop putting Ruby Rose in Movies!

Why? Seriously, why? Does she have something on someone important? Does she know someone that can green light anything? Did she sign a blood contract with Satan, I mean, seriously, why? She had a few episodes on Orange is the new black, and then major roles. She is getting roles that an actor should have be getting if they were in the business for like 20+ years, so why? Being serious here...
Is Morgan Freeman in debt?
DaSpider17 April 2021
Seriously, I cannot think of a single reason a renowned actor would take part it this sh**show. He probably owns money to loan sharks or owns a debt to the director or similar. This is a A-class waste of everything you can think of.
Atrocious
kristoferthompson16 April 2021
I know 2020 was a difficult year to be making movies but there is no excuse for this awful awful film.
Wooden acting, Disjointed plot. Unrelatable characters/
DO NOT waste 90 minutes watching this garbage.
Once again lump of wood ruby rose does her usual abysmal attempt at 'acting'. Who keeps employing her?
Avoid this film at all costs.

checks all the boxes for cheap
A_Different_Drummer16 April 2021
Most scenes with 1 or 2 characters because they could not afford extras CHECK minimal outdoor scenes because they did not bother with licenses and permissions CHECK lots of head and shoulders shots as a substitute for actual movement CHECK garish colors to distract viewers from the lack of value on the screen CHECK and a soundtrack from Hell to try to hide all the above CHECK;
This needs to be vanquished
johnmento16 April 2021
Some shocking b grade action. What and who talked class like morgan freeman into this is beyond me. Once again we find the wooden actress, mila jovovich try hard ruby rose in some forced action roles which just makes me laugh.
Why people why, could have been good but missed the mark by 90.

Should have gone with my gut.....
blitz_n116 April 2021
When i saw that Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose were in the same movie with no other famous actresses or actors i should have realized it wasn't going to be worth watching.... i just don't know why i put myself through the entire 90 minutes. Wish i could get a refund for my time :(
A masterpiece of psychedelic art
spring-1071922 April 2021
I simply had to open an account and write my first review. Just in case everyone missed the point.
I loved this movie. I have given it a 10 because it is a masterpiece of psychedelic art. Either all who were involved in producing and none acting in this futuristic work of art were toted out of their minds, or they were brilliant enough to produce a movie for the generation of movie fans who are. After reading the disastrous reviews here, I had to watch it....know what I mean.... only I smoked enough of the good stuff before hand, and bingo, it is brilliant! The plot, the none acting, the artwork all comes together to make sense. It even had a happy ending. Hats off to all of them.

boself24 July 2021
... reading the reviews! Thanks to my fellow reviewing Gods, this was a blast!!
Ok, so what happened was this: I am a huge Morgan Freeman fan and when this movie popped up at Netflix I decided to start watching without checking Imdb first. Big mistake, but hey... Morgan Freeman, you know. No need for checking Indb, right? Wrong. So I grabbed a bowl of popcorn and starting watching. I finished the whole bowl even before the opening credits where done. Like at six minutes. Either my bowl was small or the credits where.....waaaaayyyyy too long. And then....finally...the movie started. Three minutes later I was questioning if my time is valuable enough to keep on watching. At that point (9.37 minutes in) I cam here.
Let me do the same thing the rest of the people here did for me. Save me. I only saw the first 9.37 minutes of this movie. It was enough. Believe me. There was somebody writing that this movie should have been strangled at birth. Well, I can't judge the entire movie, just the opening credits and first scene. What I CAN tell you is it should have been strangled there. The movie. Please do yourself a GD favor. Don't even try!!

Australia has free health care--Huge Plot Hole
aisyamara16 April 2021
It is amazing that the hero, who is Australian and played by an Australian didn't think to mention this to whomever wrote this mindless drivel. Did Ruby find the chance to work beside Morgan Freeman too enticing to include reality into the story? Don't waste your time on people who can't bother to do any research, they prefer to insult their audience.

Worst Movie of All Time
carsontuscany16 April 2021
5/100
Vanquish is easily the worst movie i'll see in 2021, and will likely be the worst movie i ever see in my life. The script, the acting, the plot, and most of all the awful editing are all at the same quality of a middle school multimedia project. I had no clue what the movie was about half the time, and nearly every character has no importance whatsoever. A truly abysmally bad movie that i'm clueless as to why it was even made and released.

Morgan Freeman Needed The Money Real Bad
bgendruwo19 April 2021
I really don't understand why top actor like Morgan Freeman would get involved in a bad film like this. Maybe he really needed the money, more than the character in this movie did.
Bad story, bad dialogue, wooden acting, nonsensible plot. One example: everytime the protagonist-lady enters a place to meet the "bad boss", the boyguards always let her bring her big guns inside so that she would be able to shoot the "bad boss" & shoot the bodyguards as well. What kind of bodyguards are those?

What's wrong with Hollywood
gshakespear17 April 2021
What's wrong with Hollywood is summed up in this picture, i.e., it actually made it too print.
Ruby Rose isn't an actor, like some singers aren't singers without the techno music and more back up vocals than substance. When the special effects don't cloud poor acting it sticks out like the proverbial.
Plot, what plot, a theme or motive isn't a plot.
As for the technical side of things, well, there isn't any.
If Hollywood and the tech movie companies keep pushing out substance without style this medium will lose its charisma fast. Going on with low budget, minimal characters, or inane characterization, together with slow and meandering plots gives way to watching grass growing as a better option.
