Law and Order

Inheritance movie review: ill fortune

Nothing works in this ludicrous thriller, which fails to compel us with its roster of monstrous characters. Lily Collins is woefully miscast; Patrick Warburton and Simon Pegg are criminally wasted.

For all the satisfying ironies that are dished up, some of what we’re served is hopelessly naive.

If Amy Heidt doesn’t get a part on Law and Order: SVU after this, there is no justice in the world…

I am enjoying the CSI: King’s Landing stuff as Ned investigates Jon Arryn’s death. Law and Order: Winterfell is taking a strange turn, however…
