      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      A high-concept mystery with a twist, Serenity isn't what it appears to be at first -- unfortunately, it's also not anywhere near as clever or entertaining as it thinks. Read critic reviews

      Audience Reviews for Serenity

      • Feb 18, 2021

        Sci fi and noir clashing down in a laughable, incoherent and discombobulated mess of a plot. A list actors teamed up with an A list writer/director and they all seemed to have sent reason and subtlety into oblivion. A great unintentional comedy nonetheless.

        Full of mystery and intrigue, Serenity is a dark and provocative film. The story follows a fisherman on the verge of bankruptcy who's approached by a former girlfriend to help kill her abusive husband. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Djimon Hounsou, and Jason Clarke, the film has a pretty strong cast; but none of the characters are all that likable. However, the plot takes a really interesting, surreal turn and tackles some controversial issues. Also, the writers do a good job at building suspense and tension. It's kind of a mess at times, and there are some tonal problems, but Serenity is a unique and daring film.

        One of the weirder films I've seen recently. And I like weird, I just don't like... This. Credit where credit's due though, both Anne Hathaway and Jason Clarke are one hundred percent believable in their roles, which is impressive given the setting, and... Terrifying, given their relationship dynamic.

        Yeah the twist is awful, but so is the rest of movie. The dialogue sounds like it was written by a Noir algorithm.
