For moviegoers who are fans of movies with surprises, thrill, and excitement, “Vanquish” is like catnip. Confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, hero cop Damon Hickey (Morgan Freeman) is under the care of Victoria (Ruby Rose). Accompanied by her daughter young Lily, these three build a makeshift family where they all share respect and care for one another.

But beneath the surface of this lovely picture, there’s something dark. Victoria was once a drug courier and Lily is having health issues. Hickey plans to use this to his advantage.

Upon taking Lily to an unknown location, he makes a bargain with her mother. In exchange for money to pay for doctors and medicine, Victoria must make five runs to pick up profits made from drug cartels. Realizing she has no choice, she complies. She then takes off on an impressive motorcycle as her drug-running adventure begins.

Throughout the course of the evening, there’s a dark and menacing atmosphere surrounding Victoria as she moves from place to place. Facing challenges ranging from illegal drugs to gunpoint blasts, Victoria will need to put in her all if she is to survive this night, return the profits to Hickey and rescue her daughter. In the case of Lily, she must handle her own health problems as well as being held for ransom by a man who was good to her and her mother for so long without even being aware of his dark side.
