This movie is a thriller directed by Vaughn Stein.
The movie starts and we see Archer Monroe (played by Patrick Warburton), having some sort of seizure as he tries to leave his house in his car. Archer is a very powerful and wealthy man, who has a son, William (played by Chace Crawford), who is a politician running for reelection, and a daughter, Lauren (played by Lily Collins), who is a Manhattan District Attorney. The seizure ends up making Archer have an accident in the car in which he died after he hit a tree. As the family mourn his death at the family home after the funeral, the will is read, which leaves most of the estate to William, and leaving Lauren a million dollars, but after this the family attorney, and close friend of Archer's,Harold Thewlis (played by Michael Beach), finds Lauren to give her a package that her father had left in his possession until his death. Lauren then opens the package that reveals a flash drive in a wooden box. Lauren goes into a quiet place in the house to find out what could be on this drive. When she opens it, it is a prerecorded video from Archer. Archer had a secret, maybe more than one, but this particular secret he had kept from everyone, even his wife Catherine (played by Connie Nielsen). As he is now dead, he had to pass this on to someone. That someone is Lauren. Within this secret, it will test her morals, her loyalty and her humanity.
I really did enjoy the tense moments in this film, one of the stars is Simon Pegg. I haven't mentioned him above as i may give away a spoiler, which i do not want to do. I thought that Simon Pegg was very very good, and seems to get better and better, and Lily Collins was excellent in her role as Lauren, as she deals with her "Inheritance". I thought the story had a good story-line with the suspense and mystery we all love in a thriller. There are a couple of things that happen within the movie, that i thought could have been smoother, as it seems to jump. Only a little, which could just be the cut of the movie, but i did notice.
