Inheritance

I love this movie

A Herança

Ok, I was not expecting too much from this movie, but it was a little worse than that. Not recommend to watch.

Lost count of how many actions the main characters could have taken to avoid the mayhem. How about an explanation from dad for why a man is chained up? A note on the shelves in the dungeon room even? How about showing a picture of Morgan to mom instead of asking her is she recognises a name? How about putting more police onto the job of finding any records? How about using your DA skills to know if someone is lying? Took me out of the movie. Sorry, can't give more than four stars.

Pure wasting of time. Trust the bad reviews above.

It appears decent because it creates suspense that doesn't deliver, with serious plot holes that makes every actor unconvincing. They perform like it's a mega psychological thriller but it's just far fetched money drama. Did I mention plot holes?

Honestly - the trailer was much better than the movie. I think I just stopped believing anything about this movie when Lily Collins is the DA in a big city. Sorry, but I gotta say - horrible casting - she looks like she is in Elementary School...and come on, Simon Pegg? I love the man, but not in this role. Oh, I could break it down, but why bother?

Really great atmosphere, good acting, kept me guessing what was going on the whole movie ! Definitely had a good time !

Inheritance (2020) is a very basic thriller plot painfully stretched over almost 2 hours handled by the most dimwitted slasher-movie-meat characters you will ever see. Maybe it was even a slasher film repurposed as a thriller at some point. Every scene in this is as painful and slow as possible. Everything has to be discussed, even if it's completely irrelevant. The ending is disconnected from 80% of the stuff they set up in the film. The way it's shot it really feels like a video game cutscene, like a pre-mission GTA V dialogue where the characters discuss something they are about to do and then they just do it, but you still see and hear every line of dialogue, even if it serves no purpose whatsoever. By the time you fast-forward to the ending and they reveal the "big twist" that renders half of the film pointless, you won't probably care because you've seen this a million times (even though so many things in this make absolutely no sense).

'Inheritance' is the type of movie I love most of all. Full of twists and turns where you never know what is around the next corner. Not enough films like this get made anymore. Early on the film sets up a mystery to centre the plot around and from that moment onwards I was hooked. I needed to know how this was going to turn out. I was not disappointed. There's something extremely appealing to me about watching actors who are mostly known for their comedic roles take on a serious one. Jim Carrey, Robin Williams, Adam Sandler - they've all done it and with great success for the most part. Simon Pegg turns in a serious role in 'Inheritance' and it is absorbing to watch. In fact all the actors in this film do a great job, but his performance certainly stands out among the pack. He is the icing on the cake to what is an already very good movie. These types of films used to be all the rage back in the 90s, but it feels like they burned out and now we hardly ever get them. I would love nothing more than to see them make a comeback and if the quality of 'Inheritance' is anything to go by then there's no reason they couldn't. I would highly recommend giving this one a watch.
