Inheritance Reviews
She never becomes Jason Bourne... She's figuring it out, and we're figuring it out right alongside her.

“Inheritance” is a throwback thriller that harkens to the retro days of the Y2K era. And while its style eclipses its substance, it’s the style that makes this cinematic curio worth watching.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 26, 2025
Not only does “Inheritance” fail to sell its aesthetic; it doesn’t sell its story, either.
| Jan 24, 2025
A listless and overly familiar endeavor that feels like the semi-experimental work Steven Soderbergh might have done about six or seven years ago.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2025
In the context of Burger’s legacy (a real mixed bag ever since “The Illusionist”), “Inheritance” is hardly a crown jewel. It’s predictable, one-note, and a knock against Dynevor as a viable action star.
| Original Score: C | Jan 24, 2025
Burger keeps things moving with a vérité point-of-view that sometimes makes it feel like the camera is the one doing the spying.
| Original Score: B- | Jan 22, 2025
The gimmickry ultimately wears thin and you find yourself thinking less about the inventive way the scenes were shot than the flimsy narrative.

Inheritance is lively in its nervous, handheld-camera aesthetic, but never terribly exciting or suspenseful. That’s okay, since our protagonist isn’t Jason Bourne.
| Jan 22, 2025
A successful experiment that’s highly attuned to the digital immediacy of our modern condition.

Its bizarre mismatch of form and content mostly saps it of life, tamping down the tension and frequently suggesting an accidentally distributed proof of concept for a project that never managed to secure funding.
