Inherit the Viper

I was pleasantly surprised when I started watching this movie. I was not expecting anything and 15 minutes into it I was interested in what would happen next. Not a fast movie or great action, but more of dark picture in the life of opioids dealing family, a subject not depicted on-screen often. The actors work with what they have, no Oscar performance but also no one that makes you cringed(FYI Josh Hartnett has the Kristen Stewart problem, has the same face regardless of the scene, but the story was written in a way that he did not have to).

The big plus of the movie is the direction. Too often movies are forgettable soon after you have watched them. This movie I will remember how it started, the middle and how it ended, which is a testament to the director.

This movie was surprising good and one of the best thriller I've seen in a long time. The ending was gripping and will lead you to all kinds of emotions. The acting between the three main character was outstanding. Hollywood these days have been making unoriginal story lines, remakes and super heroes fantasy movies which I can barely sit through an entire movie. However, I sat through this one compelled at the plot and twist. It was original and great. I'm just baffled why the rating is so low and why there isn't that much reviews. Definitely give this one a watch if you love the crime thriller genre.

Not any good? The acting aint bad. The story aint particularly bad either, although it is all over the place, with too many characters and too many storylines to become a focussed drama.

The bad: it is simply a bit of a tedious watch. Nothing worse than getting bored...

Fear the Viper or inherit the viper ... there may be another title for this in the country you are hailing from ... and are watching this of course. But it seems like the viper remains ... as is the poison of said snake. Sometimes you kind of know what to expect, I reckon.

But even so, it may not mean that you can be fully prepared. I'd say this is quite predictable when it comes to the fate or where the road leads for our main characters. That being said, it is still more than decent. Even if it didn't really grab me as much as I think it had the potential to do ... especially the impact certain things are supposed to have. The acting is more than solid and the cinematography was really good too. It just felt like it was missing something special to put it over the top ...

The story doesn't develop the background of the three siblings much, so I don't really feel for them at all. The story isn't so engaging either. I felt rather bored by it.
