Alas, in the third act Matthew Kennedy’s screenplay devolves into thriller-film cliches... and it cannot outrun the many improbabilities we’re asked to swallow to keep the yarn moving.

| Original Score: C | Oct 20, 2022

As entertaining as it can be, “Inheritance” never rises above its rather silly premise. It leaves too many questions unanswered, has too many head-scratching moments, and doesn’t quite muster the mystery or excitement it needs.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 22, 2022

Still, the story as a whole never becomes that alluring and it leads to weak characterizations, shallow themes, and an ending that values shocking reveals and tiresome exposition.

Count yourself lucky that cinemas aren't open for you to waste your money on this.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 23, 2021

The silly plot twists and turns aren't the only things hard to understand in Inheritance. It boggles the mind that this could be billed as a thriller.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 30, 2021

Just awful.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 13, 2020

The characters are paper-thin and, even on paper, their motivations don't make much sense.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 3, 2020

There's a grandly gothic tone to this thriller, which uses editing and music to add oomph to an extremely corny plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 2, 2020

Inheritance is a joyride, plain and simple.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 26, 2020

Most will find the denouement leaves a bad taste in the mouth, although fans of the genre might be more concerned with the film's lack of excitement than its skewed morality.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 15, 2020

The groundwork is laid down for a solid film, the actors all have the skills, but this is what happens when a weak script weighs down everything around it.

| Jun 8, 2020

A lackluster, ridiculous and poorly-acted thriller plagued by numerous red herrings

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 5, 2020

Overlong psychological thriller has violence, language.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 1, 2020

Despite the interesting premise of the film and the fact that we get to see Simon Pegg in a departure type character this was not a film which lived up to my standards. Or, I would imagine, anyone's.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 1, 2020

As outrageous as it sounds, and the fact she wears stilettos to trek to the fort in the woods at night, and occasional clunkery, it's fun!

Pegg's performance elevates the film as he creates a character with whom we vacillate, eliciting a myriad of emotions for this character.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 28, 2020

Inheritance is the cinematic equivalent of the paperback you leave at the beach or airport after you finished it, diverting but forgettable. Sometimes that's enough.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 28, 2020

Nothing works in this ludicrous thriller, which fails to compel us with its roster of monstrous characters. Lily Collins is woefully miscast; Patrick Warburton and Simon Pegg are criminally wasted.

| Original Score: 0/5 | May 26, 2020

After the dust settles in the end, it's amazing to look back at the bulk of Inheritance and realize how little of it ultimately mattered.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 26, 2020

A flat thriller that doesn't manage to register at all. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 24, 2020
