“Legacy Of Lies” (**1/2 out of four) was a relatively well-done action potboiler about an ex-MI6 agent (Scott Adkins) who is sucked back into the criminal underworld of espionage and double-crosses when he tries to uncover the works of unknown secret services but finds duplicity, deception, and treachery at every turn. Routine story with Adkins in a role he can easily play in his sleep by now but it’s tautly made and directed and features enough action and intrigue for genre fans. Adkins has already carved out a solid B-movie “legacy” of his own but needs a first-rate vehicle to carry him to more lucrative clout and status.
