Serenity (2019)

The trailer for Serenity presents itself as a kind of low rent neo-noir, down on his luck fisherman (Matthew McConaughey) increasingly unravels after his ex wife (Anne Hathaway) approaches him for help in killing her abusive current husband (Jason Clarke). That in a sense is what Serenity is about, along with the search for the perfect tuna. However about halfway through this film the audience is presented with a twist, a twist so disjointed, staggering and bizarre that you can hardly believe this movie was ever actually made, especially with stars of this caliber. Said twist elevates Serenity from the unremarkable and forgettable into the top flight of so bad its good movies. I simultaneity cannot possibly recommend Serenity, but I absolutely recommend Serenity. This a 4 star *1/2 movie.
