My quick rating - 2.9/10. I feel quite bad for Morgan Freeman if he actually needs to do movies this bad. That is a double entendre in both that he needs the work, and this movie is that bad. I joked about wanting to see this since it had Ruby Rose. Truth is she can't act her way out of a cardboard box, and she marginally made Batwoman better, which is saying nearly nothing. I did, however, want to see it due to Freeman. Right up there with the finest actors of my time, so when he is on the cover, I see the movie. This one has the recycled plot where the protagonist has left "the life" to stay within the law, but the bad guy forces him/her to do one more job. Then there are a few terribly edited scenes filled in to plug up the story while Ruby rides around on a motorcycle that can't outrun a single vehicle and shoots people up while picking up money bags for the evil Freeman. If these had excessive flair or crazy stunts, sure, I can watch for the fluff value, but not even those elements are present. It is more or less a 90-minute tutorial on what is wrong with Hollywood.
