Inheritance

This director also made Limitless, one of my all time guilty pleasure. The movie is better than what they say, I was on the edge of my couch for the first hour, it's more than can be said than most blockbusters these days, and cost not much to make by the look of it. Then, just like Limitless, the whole thing becomes improbable towards the end, any suspension of disbelief will be tested. Special mention to the chick, what a talent! Watch this on a rainy day and if nothing else, you'll be grateful you're not runing from Interpol in the slum Delhi. If you pay attention in the end credits you'll get the info that reveals how much is the inheritance.

Forgettable film from start to finish , besides being in Egypt, India and South Korea. It is true that there is no tension sauf a little in Egypt and more of it in India. I don't know why this movie was made considering what happens in the end.

Is it iPhone filming prowess advertisement? Does it bear a hidden message? Is it a sort of wicked encouragement?

At least, I got to travel without a visa to three beautiful countries glued to Maya.

After her mother's funeral. Maya (Phoebe Dynevor) gets a chance to connect with her estranged father Sam (Rhys Ifans.)

He offers to take her to Egypt where he claims to work in real estate. Even asking Maya to get a job to entice people to launder money in property.

However Sam disappears and is later contacted by people who claim to have abducted him.

They want Maya to retrieve a hard disk from a safe deposit box in India.

It leads her to question just who her father is. He had a false passport, previously worked in espionage and Interpol are also after him.

Directed by Neil Burger on an Iphone. This is a guerilla thriller shot in Egypt, India and South Korea without permits. Some task in India as the cops like to have their backhanders even if you have all the proper paperwork.

Once the post production grading is done, the film looks quite good. Although it could be better lit.

The story is hackneyed. You sense Maya is being used by her father. The international locales add to the movie.

Inheritance (2025) is the newest movie from Neil Burger and it was very mediocre.

Positives for Inheritance (2025): The performance from the lead actress was good enough for what she had to work with. I have to give props to Burger for directing this movie on an iPhone. And finally, the movie does everything it's suppose to do and it works for the most part.

Negatives for Inheritance (2025): This is a movie I've watched so many times before where you have a character who hides out secrets from one of their family members and they have to help them out in a conspiracy. The villains are very forgettable and there is a twist in the movie I saw coming from a mile away. And finally, the movie is very forgettable with its execution.

Overall, Inheritance 92025) is a basic spy thriller move that does nothing new aside from the generic stuff from these movies and that is just boring.

Inheritance feels like it was made on a modest budget, but that actually works in its favor. The handheld, action-cam style gives it a gritty, immersive feel without being distracting. The story is fine; nothing groundbreaking, but it holds your attention, and the ending ties it all together nicely. The cast delivers solid performances, and the locations are visually interesting. But the real standout is the soundtrack. Seriously impressive work by Paul Leonard-Morgan. It's layered, tense, and adds so much atmosphere. Overall, it's a decent watch with just enough mood and momentum to make it worthwhile.
