Reviews

The New York Times - Glenn Kenny
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.
50
Film Threat - Alan Ng
Inherit The Viper had the potential to be an exciting thriller with dramatic family elements. Instead, its characters fall flat as if the actors were not allowed or unwilling to flesh out their characters more.
50
RogerEbert.com - Unnamed
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.
50
Screen Rant - Chris Agar
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.

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.
