Legacy (I) (2010)
7/10
Took me a few days, but thumbs up

Warning: Spoilers
I went to Scotland to visit my girlfriends family, her sister gave her tickets to the closing gala night of the Glasgow film festival. Id never heard of Legacy or the director, who seemed to be a bit of a celebrity. I've seen Idris Elba in RocknRolla and The Office but didn't know his name. The films poster hasn't got any pictures of the caste on it, just a really cool painting of a lit fusewire running through a maze to a bomb in a brain. In any case i was happy to see that Elba was in the movie, but the rest of the caste was a bit weak. Elba held that movie from start to finish. I've got to say that i was a bit lost from after Malcolm Gray made it to New York, so after the first 20 minutes. I just don't understand what really happened with his comrades - dead or alive, was the lawyer really there, what is the significance of the pizza and was that assassin real, but what a wicked fight scene saw juijitsu, wing chun and some kali in that, mad attention to detail. Did he really do that to his fiancé. I was engrossed every minute. It was cool the way it was so slow moving but giving you bits of info each time. Am i stupid or was everyone as confused as me. I would have gone to the cinema again the next day but they only showed it for the one night. Somebody please message me and let me know when its coming out in the States. This is not the kind of movie i would watch on a cinema unless its possible to watch it again straight after.
