Pulling off a good spy thriller is no easy feat.

Alas, sometimes a film lacks all three, such as with writer-directorNeil Burgers latest endeavor,Inheritance.

Save from one scene where Maya breaks down in tears,Dynevors performance is largely one-note.

The movie premieres on January 24.

What the iPhone does particularly well is capture snapshots of the various cities Maya travels to.

As far as spy movies go,Inheritancecertainly has potential, but never really lives up to it.

Inheritanceis in theaters now.
