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.

Tribune News Service

“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.

Rated: 3/4

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

Geek Vibes Nation

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.

Rated: 6.5

Third Coast Review

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

Rated: 3/4
