Thanks for the memories!

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I absolutely loved this movie. It was so suspenseful I was tempted to fast forward, but then I would have missed the nuances. Idris Alba is so talented and very sexy to boot. This movie was full of so many UK actors I love. I love seeing them hide their UK accents. I am going to have to watch it again to figure out what parts were really real. It was one movie well worth the watch. It is too bad this type of movie does not make it to the big screen. I will now be looking for more movies with Iris Alba. He certainly has a talent for playing with a good story. Thank you Netflix for this is the only place I know to find things that don't make it in blockbuster movie theatres.

I'm a big fan of Idris Elba . I loved the HBO series "The Wire" and even more so the BBC show "Luther" but he's film career has yet to really take off and when he chooses complete Turkeys like Legacy - Black Ops , it's hardly surprising. Looking at the DVD cover you might think that this was an action flick , but far from from it. This is a dreadfully slow and dull movie about a special ops soldier who is gradually going out of his mind , stuck in a hotel room. I know how he felt watching this film! Elba is good as usual but the script is so bad it's hard to find anything positive about this film. Avoid it at all costs.

This movie is intense from beginning to end. A bit of life imitating art and vice versa. Idris Elba is incredible and his dedication to his craft exudes across the screen. He makes you feel his character's every emotion. Great work by Thomas Ikimi and I'm sure we will be seeing much more from him in the future. Glad you let Idris play this role and not the one of the senator. (lol) Very entertaining and it will cause you to think also about our men and women in the arm forces and children that are forced into civil wars around the country. Idris caused me to go deeper and think about the arm forces on many different levels. This movie should elevate our awareness of these individuals around the world.

Legacy is the second film from up and coming director/writer Thomas Ikimi and serves as further evidence that this young man is sure to be a source of great films in the near future.This time he is armed with a stellar cast (Idris Elba is excellent and gives a most harrowing and unique performance), a dedicated crew and far less of the creative restrictions he experienced while making his micro budget first film, Limbo.This is a dark and tense psychological thriller with a strong focus on the psychology so that the viewer must constantly question themselves throughout the complex plot. We are left often doubting our own conclusions just as quickly as we became certain of them.I had a few gripes with the casting and thought that Clarke Peters was slightly out of place portraying a covert and deadly Black ops soldier. Also Monique Gabriela Curnen (who nevertheless gives a good performance) didn't quite feel the right choice for her role as Idris' past love interest. It's not all bad though as Eamonn Walker, Joe Holt and Lara Pulver were all excellently cast resulting in some particularly gripping scenes whenever they shared the screen with Idris Elba.All in all this is a thinking person's film, don't let Idris Elba's all action persona falsely paint your expectations of what this film is about. If you like The Jacket, Jacob's Ladder or Open Your Eyes (Abre los ojos) then you should appreciate and enjoy this film. This Legacy will leave you with questions, but are you sharp enough to decipher the answers?
