Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/shooting/drugs/suicide

Storyline/Character [Character developments,] Art, Action, Comedy and Performances: all these components combined in one way or another; at the beginning of this film and throughout this opening; we have this black-and-white format of Morgan Freeman and individually Ruby Rose followed by this yellow outline but black in the middle of this title of this film " Vanquish" then we have this rise of Damon Hicks/Freeman [rookie Police Officer] sequence; using newspaper headlines " Rookie Cop Saves" or other visual things or sadly this life changing criminal activity on his doorstep by this drug cartel by the usage of verbal news report but with a news paper on screen as well; the pacing is something safe and reliable.

Later on in this film for one example; we get to experience what Victoria/Rose [the other lead character/performer in this project,] used to be like before giving up this lifestyle; as she is calmly yet intimidatingly in complete control of this situation where she takes this henchman; his name is Biggie Smalls as a hostage until her task here is completed and let's just say she was very good with her brother at their previous life as this will clearly show [full disclosure; but by this point in the film you may have gotten that point already.]

The performances; well they are mostly of a poor standard minus Morgan Freeman, Ruby Rose and I refuse to throw this child under the bus; Juju Journey Brener as Lily.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; now after watching the closing sequence again I get it, but without giving too much away it is a very generic conclusion, I mean I would have preferred to hear this news report something to the effect of " breakthrough in medical science a young girl goes through this procedure to repair ... and it was a great success. These memory recalls from Victoria/Rose are/were so very unnecessary considering we have just seen what she is recapping and not forgetting they are ever so cheap and tacky, Damon's ring tone is irritating it is just this piano sound; yet somehow this film has won an Award; PAGE International Screenwriting Awards 2014; Best Thriller/Horror Script; Samuel Bartlett [writer.] But if there are any fans of individually or together Morgan Freeman or/and Ruby Rose take a look at this title, but I would go in with low expectations.
