Legacy

When a movie is, essentially, one man in a room, descending into madness more and more as time passes, it takes one hell of a performance for that to truly seem real and believable. Idris Elba delivers a true tour def force performance in this psychological thriller, the caliber of which defies any adjectives I can think of. It may well be one of the best acting jobs I've ever seen in my life.It's brilliant and dark and cerebral and nuanced, and I believe I will be thinking of this film for a very long time. While the plot and direction may be clumsy in places, Elba is so good that nothing else matters. Please watch this, it's so worth ninety minutes of your time. 5/5
