Legacy of Lies

It was just 'meh'. U know like every other movie. Go watch it if u don't believe me

Folks who make movie trailers-not movies, should get academy awards cause the preview of this film convinced me to buy it; stupid me. It's plot is confusing, the characters are cardboard, the daughter is annoying, the "action scenes " are...yawn inducing. Scott Adkins is handsome and believable in his kick-but skills, I can't say anything else that's positive about this film.

Meh.

This movie was at best bland. Sorry to say so, but that is the truth. And even with the likes of Scott Adkins in the lead, the movie never managed to get its head out of the mediocrity gutter.

The movie started out interesting enough, but it quickly lost its momentum as the air seeped out of the storyline balloon, and it became a flaccid experience. The movie was watchable, sure, but this was hardly an outstanding or memorable movie. And it was by no means a milestone for Scott Adkins.

I managed to sit through the movie, although I can't claim to have been overly entertained. And I actually drifted off twice along the way, since nothing of much interest were happening.

For an action movie of this type, then "Legacy of Lies" just didn't cut it. And it was a shame really.

My rating of "Legacy of Lies" lands on a very mediocre five out of ten stars. I've seen it now, and I know that I will never be returning to watch it a second time; as the movie offered nothing interesting or unique.

There's enough Adkins fights and action to hold you over until the Isaac Florentine directed "Seized" gets released. This isn't a Florentine or Jesse V. Johnson flick but, if you're an Adkins fan, a true fan, you'll like this movie.

Scott Adkins is back with another DTV Action Thriller & this time he plays an Ex-Spy for the British government who walked away from it all after a secret mission went terrible wrong & we meet him 12 yrs later as a troubled dad with his smart 12 yr old daughter & he works in a swanky club as a bouncer & cage fighting on the side to earn some cash & Adkins is good again in another solid role that shows he's a fine solid actor as well as a fantastic gifted fighter. Legacy of Lies is a basic Spy Action Thriller but actually looks really slick & Cool with nice lighting & smooth, fast fighting scenes that are apart of todays Action genre & mostly it's a pretty good little Thriller. Adkins movie daughter in this is ok'ish, abit annoying sometimes & adds nothing to the film except the motivation for the events he's forced into later when his past catches up with him & we get the usual basic old "Buddies" of his that are still Agents & are all Assholes lol, the Awesome Adkins glides through the low-budget film beating up & shooting everyone & that's fine by me as that's what we expect from Adkins & the Action genre but the film is watchable only once. I think Scott Adkins is way underrated & can & has done way better films.

Adkins is Awesome as usual but it's just a very basic & generic DTV Action Film.
