Legacy of Lies

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.

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.

Scott is a talented action star and has been in many films over the last 20 years, always playing the same type of character, and never seems to improve his acting ability.

Perhaps it's the directors and poor scripts but after a while you realize that it's him. He's just as good as he's ever going to get and that's average and all the movies where he is a lead look the same.

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

Legacy of Lies attempts to be a tier-1 actioner but it's really a tier-2 or -3 with its cast of inexperienced unknowns. Filmed in parts of Europe, mostly in hollowed-out Ukraine it appears, this is writer/director Adrian Bol's first feature film so he's got a few lessons to learn. Honor Kneafsey plays young teen daughter "Lisa" to "Martin" (the lead) but her character seems wrong for the whole situation, and her throwback Shirley Temple look is really obtuse. Plausibility suffers too when semi-automatic pistols prevail over automatic machine guns, really?! If you do sit through this, please tell me your cost was $0.
