Critic Reviews

Glenn Kenny

Jan 9, 2020

As the movie heads for its quietly ghastly denouement, its plot mechanism gets a little wobbly, which is ultimately forgivable. It’s a genuinely tough picture, but it also has a real undercurrent of compassion. Read full review

Evocatively moody atmosphere, a timely subject, and a fine performance by Josh Hartnett cannot help Inherit the Viper overcome its clunky dialogue and formulaic storyline. Read full review

Screen Rant Chris Agar

Jan 16, 2020

Despite a few strong aspects here and there, Inherit the Viper is more or less a fleeting entry into the crime genre that won't stick out in viewers' memory after the credits roll. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

Inherit the Viper is at its best when keyed into the disposability of human lives, but most of the film can hardly be bothered to care about the ones it chooses to follow. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Jan 9, 2020

For all its admirable intentions and the terrific performances by its talented ensemble, Inherit the Viper fails to have any genuine impact. Neither weighty enough to satisfyingly explore its themes nor sufficiently suspenseful to work as a straightforward thriller, the film proves dramatically inert. Read full review

Noel Murray

At both its highest and its lowest, Inherit the Viper lacks excitement. The action sequences are sparse, and the plot is underdeveloped. Read full review

Rex Reed

Jan 11, 2020

In a bargain-basement bomb called Inherit the Viper, three siblings survive one gruesome moment after another without any of them adding up to anything significant or life-affirming. Despite a running time of only 85 minutes, it feels like days of mean-spirited self-indulgence. Read full review
