"A Legacy of Spies" is a success on nearly every level. The genre, and the bevy of beautiful women involved in the production, may make one think that this is a James Bond/Tom Clancy type shoot-'em-up....” Spoon’s review
"In a line, ‘Legacy of Spies’ is slam-bang action and sexy fun, all wrapped in emotional drama..." Moosey’s review
"This ambitious project is full of density and interest, but the production mistakes mar the enjoyment for me and made watching A Legacy of Spies a tedious trudge to get to the few interesting places and ideas. ..." Wutho’s review

Reviews: "There are many errors in this film, with some that can be overlooked. Some of the dialogue is fresh and yet some is not. I still recommend this story for the ride of it and for anyone who isn’t easily confused......” Pedro’s review
"Before the plotline gets muddled, the beginning is relatively strong. Some sections throughout (such as Michael's flashbacks) are top-quality, imaginative stuff. And Hanks' character, who mostly stays away from the action, is written quite well. The whole thing is really a good concept. "Spies" proved that this producer can pull off a project of this type. He just didn't here.....” Spoon’s review

Reviews: u>"I enjoyed this film; it was nice and fast-paced and entertaining. Though the dialogue was a little weak, my biggest problem with the movie was I thought it should've been longer. The journey to the ruins should've been a little longer and hazardous, and with a few extra pages I think the plot twists at the end would've worked better and the movie itself would've earned a higher score…” Tuefel’s review
"A western film with more of an adventure feel to it. There are no stand offs, no 'yes ma'am' or the other kind of cheesy stuff that I'm used to seeing, when it comes to a western film. This is a good thing!.....” Jameson’s review
“ I stuck with "Voracity of the Soul" and was eventually paid off with a fine tale of the consequences of greed and ambition. Eventually. The film starts off shaky, as we're presented with something I rarely enjoy, the framing sequence…” Spoon’s Review
“Voracity of the soul is not horrible, but it isn’t very good either. A brilliant ensemble cast highlights this dialogue driven drama about greed, murder, and myth. But unfortunately, the casting isn’t as good as it should be. None of the characters really appeal to the reader. The script is also extremely weak, not helping us get a mental picture of the movie. The dialogue is crisp and unnatural. ..” Moosey’s Review
