Like a good thriller, Inheritance draws you in and takes you right into the middle of the action. Then when it’s all over, you’ll want to revisit it as soon as possible to pick up on all the little details and clues. It feels real, which adds to the intensity. Read full review

Inheritance might have benefited from its third act being a tad subtler, but I get the allure of throwing away nuance for splashy suspense. Read full review

Despite a few effective “gotcha!” moments and Pegg’s performance, the movie is too artificial and undercooked to work. Logic and consistency are often overlooked qualities in today’s cinema but when they’re ignored to this degree, their absence is noticed. Read full review

Simon Pegg and Lily Collins act the hell out of a script with a fun set-up and a lazy payoff. Read full review

This overlong tale spends most of its nearly two hours as a somewhat draggy, talky mystery before finally deciding to be a thriller, with credibility lacking throughout. Read full review

Though Stein assembles his early sequences with precision, laying out geography and shorthanding through set design, that sharpness is undermined by basically everything else in the movie, from micro to major. Read full review

Peter Travers

May 21, 2020

One adjective you don’t hear much anymore is “preposterous,” defined as “contrary to nature, reason or common sense.” Yet the word applies perfectly to Inheritance, a blithering botch job of a thriller that begs the question: “Come on, are you f**king kidding me?” Read full review

There is only one reason to watch this rather average movie and that is - Simon Pegg. A revelatory performance which I really enjoyed (as did he!) But apart from that, the pedestrian and unbelievable script doesn't challenge the other actors or the viewer's brain in the slightest.

Absolute cringe fest, terrible acting, terrible story, terrible plot, terrible pacing.
I can't say anything positive about this crap fest.
