"Inheritance" is a direct to video mystery with a mostly unknown cast except for an almost unrecognizable Simon Pegg. 31yo Lily Collins looks much younger, like she's from one of those kids shows on Disney or Nickelodeon. She's really out of place as big city DA "Lauren Monroe", so that's a casting fail, which is a problem since she's the lead. That and other plausibility problems take you out of important moments and make this a so-so storytelling when it could've and should've been worth an 8 or 9 rating. The whole production is analogous to doodoo covered with white icing - it looks good enough to eat but heaven help you if you do! For instance, the whole initial premise that her father barely if at all really briefed her on the terrible responsibility of her inheritance just because someone might be listening in is ludicrous. Fine, you can forgive that one maybe since it launches the story but it's followed by too many subsequent implausibilities you'd have to look past to really enjoy the story itself. It's a shame, because the story concept is decent but poorly executed.

This movie has gotten consistently mediocre to poor ratings from various professional viewers. The premise is very interesting but highly unlikely, and many of the choices of the various characters seem unusual and unlikely. Still, my wife and I were entertained, as a Tuesday evening viewing at home on the Kanopy site it entertained us more than many recent movies.

Very cute but maybe too young Lily Collins is powerful NYC prosecutor Lauren Monroe. When her wealthy and influential dad dies suddenly and the will is executed she receives an inheritance she wishes she could give back. Dad's video on the USB drive and a set of keys gets the story into its main thrust. Lauren has to clean up the mess but has no idea how to proceed.

Perhaps the best part of this movie is Simon Pegg, mostly known for his silly, comedic roles, is dead serious here as menacing Morgan Warner. The rest of the cast are adequate. The story has a resolution but in total it is just a B movie. Set in NYC much of it was filmed in Alabama.

I am glad we watched it, I would not want a second viewing.

I quite enjoy this movie. I watched it without knowing what it was about. When I saw the Morgan character, at first I was skeptical that they chose Simon Pegg for it. But he proves me wrong, boy was he a delight to watch in this role. This movie is the kind that you'd find yourself enjoy it more IF you can ignore the plot holes. Picture tom & jerry's holey cheese, those are the exact representation of the plot holes. So thats what I did, I ignore them and enjoy the performance. Well but then again there's only so much that mr.Pegg can do. This movie HAD a potential to become better, but the choppy edit and poor conclusion at the end render this movie into a meh.

And as for lily collins, she gave great performance here, its solid. I just... cant helped but feel that someone else would've suited more to be the lead role. She didn't have the charisma nor the tenacity that was needed to play the no nonsense District Attorney.

I like the first 50minutes of this movie, the revelation at the end just felt forced and rushed, all that build up doesn't really paid well. I just wished they take it to another direction instead of the cliche ending.

5 star for the story, as it could've been great 7 star for Simon Pegg, I hope this is a sign that he's gonna play more serious roles in the future because he steals the show!

Simon Pegg is stellar as usual, but Lily Collins is terribly miscast. She is too young and juvenile to be believable in this role. She has a meekness in her voice that makes it impossible to believe she is a high-powered DA. Everything else is good, but it's really hard to sink into the story when she is so poorly suited to the role. Her acting skills are fine, she just can't pull this character off. I want to like it, it definitely sucks you in right away and keeps you enthralled, but I'm spending way more time wondering what year of college she is in, rather than believing she is a mother of a 10ish-year-old. Too bad.

Not a flawless film, but for a B-grade film that Matthew Kennedy wrote the story and screenplay - his first ever, it was quite impressive for an amateur writer. There were some minor plot and technical issues, but the 111 min runtime with its on point pacing, held my interest and kept me in suspense. The directing and score were decent, and cinematography was great. All cast performed excellent, especially Pegg, but I felt Lily Collins wasn't the right casting choice; her performance was excellent, and although she's 31 years old, right from the start of the film, her young teenage look wasn't convincing for a fierce D.A. Nevertheless, an enjoyable drama/thriller I'd recommend, especially considering the slim-pickings of films available during the Corona virus. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

I quite enjoyed the premise and although absurd that is what movies are all about - its not real life to the reviewer who beggars belief and so is the premise of many other movies and that does not make it a bad movie just a creative idea much like many Stephen King movies but this one could not maintain the level of tension/pacing and just petered out from the middle onwards to the rather disappointing ending.

That being said it wound its way quite well until the denouement which was a bit of a letdown; the end was a bit of a damp squib, I was expecting something more jaw dropping in the vein of the writers of Saw or Hannibal but no, it runs out of steam like most films these days seem to.

Passable entertainment but fails to reach much above the 6th rung on the ten step ladder!

I liked it... I thought it was fun. I thought it was a good story. I think you'll like it too. All these other reviews are so serious... "It's so impossible," "am I supposed to believe?" yeah yeah, and Black Panther could happen. Sheesh.

The youngest ever District Attorney in the US is around 35, Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore, the actress cast as a DA here is 30, but she looks about 19, maybe even younger. If you're under 30 or teenager this maybe fine, but as someone old enough to be her Father, I'm afraid this stretches my ability to suspend my disbelief & with very poor reviews, I'm out within minutes.

As a thriller, people might not find it well-written, but it was fun to watch.

Especially, watching Simon Pegg in a different character than usual.

The only disappointing thing about Inheritance is the ratings it gets on IMDb. To me it's seriously underrated, but then again I'm used to it. It's not the first time that I completely disagree with the ratings, in fact there are a lot of movies with this score that I find very entertaining whilst other very highly rated movies are rather boring to watch. Inheritance has an interesting story, the suspense is building up during the entire movie, with good acting from Simon Pegg and Lily Collins, as well as the rest of the cast. It's one of those mystery movies you keep guessing what happened, one that you know there is something odd about it but you stay eager to find out. So no I really don't get what people don't like about this movie. Sometimes you can see a movie is going to suck after just watching a couple minutes, the amateurism just oozes from the beginning, but with Inheritance I immediatly had the opposite reaction after a couple minutes, you can clearly see the cinematography was going to be good, and a good story and acting made it just slightly more entertaining than a just normal 'good' movie. You can't really go wrong with this movie if you like mystery thrillers.

It's one of my favourites in 2020! I don't know why some people said that it was bad! I enjoyed watching it to the last minute!

The very best thing about this film is the character that Simon Pegg plays. He's so fantastic. The rest of the characters are average at best but he carries the entire movie.

Quite an interesting movie with great performance by Simon Pegg.A good watch especially in a time(Covid19 era) where we don't get to see any new movies
