Vanquish is not only the worst film I ve seen this year, but perhaps in the last decade. Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman is slumming as a retired cop with some old scores to settle. A large paycheck must have enticed the actor to make this film, but there s another perk that surely was appealing – he never has to stand. His character, Damon, is in a wheelchair throughout, rolling about his modernistic mansion, bathed in cool blues and blacks, scowling again and again as he sees the outside world through the eyes of a surrogate. That would be Victoria (Ruby Rose, all attitude and little else), who has a skill set that comes in handy as she s sent to complete five trips to pick up large sums of money from various nefarious characters. Each trip ends in violence, frantically cut together to obscure the ineptitude of their staging. Cryptic dialogue expressing half-thoughts are spoken throughout, implying great menace and import, failing to obscure Gallo s lazy writing

Some movies can bring out the life coach in you, the one who wants to get the characters to straighten up and fly right. Is that just because they’re behaving badly? Not exactly. Bad behavior is half of what movies are. No, when a film nudges your inner life coach, it’s because someone onscreen is up to something so wrongheaded that it ceases to be clear whether it’s him or the movie that needs an intervention.
A warning: The packed dance floors swirling in neon lights and/or sea breezes in Argyris Papadimitropoulos’ “Monday” may cause in the viewer an uncontrollable yearning to be in close proximity to many strange, sweaty bodies, fueled by disco beats and all manner of mysterious substances. This is the setting for the meet-cute of two American expats in Greece, Chloe (Denise Gough) and Mickey (Sebastian Stan), shoved together by their mutual friend Argyris (Giorgos Pyrpasopoulos). It goes so well that they wake up nude on a beach as families splash around them in the morning light.
“Monday” is a riff on Richard Linklater’s “Before Sunrise” (and its sequels), and Andrew Haigh’s “Weekend,” films in which romance blossoms for a mere moment in time. Rather than temporally containing this relationship, Papadimitropoulos and co-writer Rob Hayes speculate on the inevitable reality check after a hedonistic long weekend and impulsive romantic decision. It’s not just the o
