Critics Consensus

A globetrotting thriller shot guerilla style, Inheritance is watchable enough but proves more interesting for how it was made than what winds up on the screen.

She never becomes Jason Bourne... She's figuring it out, and we're figuring it out right alongside her.

3/4

“Inheritance” is a throwback thriller that harkens to the retro days of the Y2K era. And while its style eclipses its substance, it’s the style that makes this cinematic curio worth watching.

Not only does “Inheritance” fail to sell its aesthetic; it doesn’t sell its story, either.

Won’t feel particularly revelatory to anyone who has frequented the spy-centric cinematic well enough to have a familiarity with every trope from Bond to Bourne, but Burger’s staging is what allows Inheritance to succeed beyond the trappings.

Inheritance essentially rests on how engaging Dynevor is in the context of this very labyrinthian story

Fairly interesting story, but unrealistic. Scenes and film sequences were overly dramatic.

Fairly engaging film about an absentee father and his relationship with his daughter, including discoveries along the way, upon the wife/mother's death.
