Legacy Lives Out Loud

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2014)

I was very impressed with this movie, but the acting was what made it stand out.
Jeremy, Rachel and Ed all gave really great performances. Rachel was amazing. Her emotions were so intense that she could really draw you into her character with a simple facial expression. Jeremy was clearly the super strong and confident knight in shining armor that all action movies require. However, it was the way he could also act out vulnerability, comedy, empathy, fear and endearing qualities that gave his character real depth. Ed did an awesome job being the cold-hearted, all-business, government official. One could almost hear the gears reeling in his head as he tried to figure out what was going to happen next.
The plot line was well developed and moved from scene to scene effortlessly.
The action scenes were well executed and exciting, although some chase scenes seemed to run a little long.
The cinematography was a little rough. The scenic views were incredible and clearly they took their time in finding just the right sites. However, most of the time it was shaky, as if someone was literally carrying the camera while shooting.
Oddly enough, there were only 7 swear words throughout the whole film. It was actually very refreshing to be reminded that every other word didn't have to be a swear word to make a movie great.
Overall, I would definitely recommend the movie, especially for action/adventure fans.
