... 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, 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.

Corrupt cop Damon (Morgan Freeman) blackmails former criminal Victoria (Ruby Rose) into rampaging against rival criminal groups.

I hadn't heard of this movie and had a feeling that this is going to be a bad B-movie. Then I see that this has Morgan Freeman. I decided to give this a try. I blame wasting ninety minutes on Freeman. He tricked me. I was also a little intrigued to see what Ruby Rose was doing after Batwoman. It's obvious that the director had watched way too much John Woo. He's trying to do 90's Woo but lacks the skills. He even pulls a homage to doves. This movie really struggles right from the start with two confused boring scenes. It's trying to set up something but the movie really only needs to start with Freeman and Ruby Rose. That's the start and the rest should be her as John Wick or second rate John Wick which is probably the most that could be hoped for. This movie is derivative and flawed.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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;

... 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!!

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 :(

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.

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.

Terrible movie from start to finish. The opening credits - what even was that?

Ruby Rose is an eye sore...

This movie is pure trash, they need to vanquish it from existence.. what a waste of money..

Wait for all the pro ruby rose votes to rock in with a 10 stars!

My god this is bad, some of the worst acting, seems ruby rose's stiff acting even infected morgan freeman!

Dont wast your time.

I have witnessed some gawd awful films in my time, but this takes the biscuit!

Morgan dear friend, if I'd known you were this hard up, I could have helped!

Sweet Jeebus make it stop.......

Morgan Freeman and Bruce Willis should create a production company where they take all the good actors and put them in the worst movies ever to make them pay the bills when they go bankrupt.

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.

Not worth your time. If you expected something is there in this feature film because there is Morgan Freeman, then it's wrong.

Names like Morgan Freeman, Ruby Rose had me expecting good movie. Poor acting, poor script, nothing original and also poor actions.

Look past the rednecks and Morgan Freeman and Ruby Rose do a great job on a less than perfect script pile it with A listers and you've got a good movie I've actually watched it twice.

I really don't understand the 1 star reviews. Was it the best Morgan Freeman film? No. Was it the best action film? No. But it was entertaining and my wife and I enjoyed it.

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?
