The Legacy: Baffling nonsense
21 June 2018
The Legacy was a pick and mix movie so I went in with zero expectations but was happy to see Sam Elliot.

It tells the story of a couple of Americans who travel to England for work. While travelling through a small village they are involved in a traffic accident and are welcomed into the mansion of a nearby gentleman. But not everything is as it seems (Is it ever?).

The plot is baffling, don't get me wrong I fully understand it I just deem it an absolute mess.

The cast are on point, the whole movie looks great and I found myself wanting to like the film and hoping it would turn itself around. Alas it did not and when the credits rolled I was more than a little dissapointed.

The Legacy is not without merits, but it should have been better as it had all the tools at its disposal for greatness.

The Good:

Cast are fantastic especially Sam Elliot

Cats <3

Looks great

The Bad:

Deeply baffling plot

Doesn't exactly flow

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

It takes seconds to become an expert crossbow wielder

Logical plots are overrated
