THE INHERITANCE (15)

NEW York District Attorney Lauren Monroe (Lily Collins) is poised to lead a high-profile case when her banker father Archer (Patrick Warburton) suffers a fatal heart attack.

After the funeral and the reading of Archer’s will, family lawyer Harold (Michael Beach) pulls Lauren aside to give her the second part of her inheritance: an envelope containing a key and a USB flash drive.

She discovers a cryptic video message from her father and directions to a bunker in the woods on the family estate where a dishevelled man named

Morgan (Simon Pegg) has been chained in captivity for more than 30 years.

Directed at a trot rather than a canter by Vaughn Stein, Inheritance is a psychological thriller that relies on viewers blindly accepting every twist and never questioning the strained logic.
