Film Review – Inheritance

“Inheritance” arrives on the scene offering a filmmaking gimmick of sorts. The entire feature was shot with an iPhone, giving co-writer/director Neil Burger (“The Marsh King’s Daughter,” “Voyagers,” “The Upside”) an opportunity to take the production anywhere he pleases, as filming was completed without much in the way of crew members. Making movies on a phone isn’t anything new (Steven Soderbergh has done it on multiple occasions), but “Inheritance” aims to become a globetrotting thriller, yet it doesn’t possess much excitement to share with viewers. Stiff, empty, and a good example of European actors unable to manage American accents, the offering is primarily about showing off mobility, as Burger is determined to highlight in-the-moment cinematography for a picture that doesn’t have screen energy to share.
