	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Evaporates in your mind as you're watching it (...) there isn't plenty of humor in the film, albeit strictly of the unintentional kind"	NEG
United States	Adam Graham Detroit News	"Everything about 'Vanquish' feels off: the stiff performances, the flat action scenes, the total lack of consequences for anyone's actions"	NEG
United States	Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"It’s a shiny, pretty thing and probably a decent filler flick while the world waits for Mr. Wick’s return (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The Freeman spark (...) is nowhere to be found, and Freeman minus the Freeman factor is just a lost cause."	NEG
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"'Vanquish' isn’t bad so much as inert — nothing here is convincing, tense, kinetic, outrageous, or silly enough to give the movie even fleeting life"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Many scenes are bathed in a sickly green, as if we’re watching everything through cheap night-vision goggles (...) No matter what filters are used, there’s no disguising this is garbage wrapped in a glossy package (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media	"It's hard to believe that a five-time Oscar nominee would sign on for an action movie this frustratingly underwritten and embarrassingly amateurish"	NEG
United Kingdom	Phil Hoad The Guardian	"Rose has the poise to carry this action movie (...) but it’s cartoonish (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Peter Travers ABC News	"96 minutes of plot incoherence (...) the only lesson this unwatchable mess might offer to students of cinema is how to do everything calamitously wrong."	NEG
United States	Peter Sobczynski rogerebert.com	"'Vanquish' is a very bad movie. But more than that, it's a supremely lazy one (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Unbearable to watch (...) An exhausting film (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"	NEG
