Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

kosmasp It seems like for most people this movie is anything but "Legacy" building. But taking the performance by Idris Elba alone this should merit and have been scored higher. Add to that an unusual story that has more to deliver than the obvious and you actually should have a winner. Maybe people felt this was marketed like an action movie (when it's more a thriller with some guts and especially something worth to think about too), I can't tell.What I can say, is that the movie delivers on its thriller element and on being not only claustrophobic but getting you into the mind of Idris character. Not an easy feat, but achieved almost seamlessly by the movie. So while you might have issues with some of the directors choices in the story department, you might want to give this movie a chance! It deserves one

robertasmith I can only assume that those giving this film a low rating were expecting an all action shoot em up no story film. Its not, so if thats what you want, go rent the latest Segal.This is a beautifully acted film, that shows the tortured mind created by war and violence. Well filmed and scripted, it asks a lot of questions and leaves the viewer with many alternative answers.I think this could become a film noir classic, and I can only hope that Mr Elba continues to produce such fine films as well as act in them. He is that rare bred who is at home on both the small and big screen, and I look forward to seeing his Lear on stage in 20 years time!

greatnessga The movie LEGACY was incredible.The storyline flowed very well throughout the movie. Idris Elba performance was one of the best I have seen from him; He truly embodied his character and made me believe he was a torn ex solider. Amazing acting all around. The complexity of the film blew my mind, it was gripping and had me on the edge of my seat. Kudos to writer/director Thomas Ikimi, he did a great job on this film; I would look out for more of his projects. The movie was shot very well for an indie film the quality match that of a Hollywood blockbuster. All in all I would recommend LEGACY to anyone was is a fan of compelling thrillers.

Negus Negas In the interest of full disclosure, I let any reader know that I know the writer and director of the movie. However, what I aimed to provide here is an unbiased review based on our thoughts and observations as a person who has a great appreciation for cinema. I think generally speaking when you have relatively small films, which have not been distributed widely there is a reliance on those who actually saw the film to give their input. I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Tribeca premiere of the film and will try to provide my impression and humble opinion. First of I think it is quite difficult to pigeonhole the film, but since most people ask for some kind of points of reference when talking about a film, I'd say it's the Manchurrian Candidate, meets Phone Booth, meets Fight Club with some Hitchcock flair. Yea, I know not very succinct, but the best I can do. The movie relies heavily on the solid script and acting prowess of the lead, Idris Elba since the majority of the movie takes place in a rundown hotel room. Since it's a psychological thriller, which deals heavily with the distortion of reality, the success or failure of the movie lies squarely on Mr. Elba's shoulders. He showcases his potential as leading man and ability to be a commanding presence on screen. Overall, I think he did a very good job, even though I didn't fully agree with all of the choices he made with the character. The twists and turns and attention to detail with which the script was written require a good deal of concentration from the audience, but I think challenging content is something popular cinema has been extremely short on in recent years. I think working within the budget constraints ( the equivalent of less than 3 seconds in any Michael Bay chase sequence), well written script, tight acting and compelling story line make this an enjoyable movie, especially for anyone starving for intelligent and ambitious film making.
