Inheritance

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.

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.

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.

It appears decent because it creates suspense that doesn't deliver, with serious plot holes that makes every actor unconvincing. They perform like it's a mega psychological thriller but it's just far fetched money drama. Did I mention plot holes?

I had high hopes that once in a blue moon Netflix showed again something watchable but nope, another absolutely unbelievable b movie with a horrible unsympathetic lead actress. I mean why would anyone not go to the cops when finding a man chained up in a bunker? And she still wants him to be chained up after showing proof. And his role is unbelievable too. I mean why not just grab her gun and get away? Really? Script is laughable and only the lead actor plays a decent role.

Had to stop watching half way, couldn't deal with her bad acting and yelling and screaming anymore Netlix really does have only trash !!
