Critics Consensus

A would-be thriller that waits far too long to embrace the daffy potential of its bizarre premise, this Inheritance should be steadfastly refused.

The characters are paper-thin and, even on paper, their motivations don't make much sense.

A script that didn't think past the trailer.

Inheritance takes a darkly entertaining look at how a powerful political dynasty might turn out to be built on shakiest of foundations...

Alas, in the third act Matthew Kennedy’s screenplay devolves into thriller-film cliches... and it cannot outrun the many improbabilities we’re asked to swallow to keep the yarn moving.

As entertaining as it can be, “Inheritance” never rises above its rather silly premise. It leaves too many questions unanswered, has too many head-scratching moments, and doesn’t quite muster the mystery or excitement it needs.

Should’ve been better. The weak reveal at the end kinda ruined it.

I've never seen a movie repeatedly get worse as it progresses as much as this one did. It's so bad it feels intentional. Lilly Collins is a bad as she's always been, Simon Pegg is interesting until the last 10 minutes, when he suddenly drops any sign of range you would have thought he got on this movie. I saw this movie in a streaming platform in Spain called Filmin and it made me so angry I cancelled my yearly subscription.

I saw this one with zero expectations and just cause I was bored but ended up liking the film more than I thought, the scenes with Lily and Simon were my favorites and ejoyed a lot the suspense surrounding the big revelation

The script is really basic, full of clichés. The situations are inconsistent, unjustified, and it truly is a low-quality movie.

Not as bad as everyone makes it seems. One of the better movies I picked out from impulse at Dollar Tree.
