Our Take On The Inheritance Trailer
Could It Be One Of The Year’s Early Standouts?
Inheritanceincorporates a generic espionage plot that leaves a lot to be desired in terms of its story. However, with the presence ofBridgertonstar Phoebe Dynevor in an unexpected action turn, coupled with director Neil Burger’s guerrilla-style approach,Inheritancecould become one of the early standouts of the year, especially since January isn’t a competitive month for movies. While the story should fall short, Dynevor’s performance and Burger’s approach might makeInheritanceworth a watch.
