Vanquish is a rated R movie that has a run time of an hour and 36 minutes that mainly focuses on Victoria doing Damon’s bidding against her will.
The storyline is well-written and the movie had great casting, but I thought that they replayed some scenes that really held the movie back. I felt like they did not need to repeat those scenes. The cinematography of the movie was well done and really brought a lot to the film.
There is not much comedy, hardly any, in this film. Maybe this is due to the Coronavirus because there were probably some restrictions which are why there are barely any extras in the film. Overall, with being restricted from COVID-19 and all, I found the movie alright and if you are someone who is interested in an exciting action experience, then this is the movie to see.
