Inheritance

Forgettable film from start to finish , besides being in Egypt, India and South Korea. It is true that there is no tension sauf a little in Egypt and more of it in India. I don't know why this movie was made considering what happens in the end.

Is it iPhone filming prowess advertisement? Does it bear a hidden message? Is it a sort of wicked encouragement?

At least, I got to travel without a visa to three beautiful countries glued to Maya.

The movie is pretty good for an indy film. The story is meh, you pretty much got it figured out. The action sequence is also meh. But what really made this film incredible is the filming style. I don't believe I've ever seen a film this way.

The camera is like a person going along with the character. It is not a found footage, which I hate, or like a 1st person view. It is just different and it worked. I find the camera work smooth and immersive. It literally feels like you are there with the character. It is even better because the film takes place in multiple locations in the world.

In sense it feels like you are taking a vacation to Egypt, India, and South Korea, literally the camera is on the street level and you get to see everything around you like you are actually there.

Overall I enjoyed it. 5/10.

This director also made Limitless, one of my all time guilty pleasure. The movie is better than what they say, I was on the edge of my couch for the first hour, it's more than can be said than most blockbusters these days, and cost not much to make by the look of it. Then, just like Limitless, the whole thing becomes improbable towards the end, any suspension of disbelief will be tested. Special mention to the chick, what a talent! Watch this on a rainy day and if nothing else, you'll be grateful you're not runing from Interpol in the slum Delhi. If you pay attention in the end credits you'll get the info that reveals how much is the inheritance.

I enjoyed how the camera was weld for this film. Other reviewers I've read seem displeased by the "held camcorder" style, however I found this attempt to be a different and fresh way to use it. For instance, the shots of how pedestrians looked at the main character as she's walking through the streets. It focused on how others perceive her rather than how she perceived her surroundings. Which for the India sequences was true to form. The men are known to gawk at American women and cat call them profusely. Also, never have I felt like an actual tourist to to the many different countries visited in the movie. The tone, pace, shots, extras, and all together vibe made me feel as if I was actually visiting the pyramids in Egypt, travels a train through India, and walked the streets of South Korea. I watch a lot of film and never have felt what it must be like to be a tourist in the locations the movie was at.

Inheritance (2025) is the newest movie from Neil Burger and it was very mediocre.

Positives for Inheritance (2025): The performance from the lead actress was good enough for what she had to work with. I have to give props to Burger for directing this movie on an iPhone. And finally, the movie does everything it's suppose to do and it works for the most part.

Negatives for Inheritance (2025): This is a movie I've watched so many times before where you have a character who hides out secrets from one of their family members and they have to help them out in a conspiracy. The villains are very forgettable and there is a twist in the movie I saw coming from a mile away. And finally, the movie is very forgettable with its execution.

Overall, Inheritance 92025) is a basic spy thriller move that does nothing new aside from the generic stuff from these movies and that is just boring.
