When Robert Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Dr. Sienna Brooks, and together they must race across Europe against the clock to foil a deadly global plot.
It’s not the worst of the trilogy, but this is less for fans of thrillers and more for people who are pining after last year’s holiday to Florence.
Early promise proves misleading in a sequel that should be far better than The Da Vinci Code than it actually is.
It’s an unholy mash-up between an Omen-like supernatural thriller and a Jason Bourne chase movie, done OAP-style.
Once upon a time, this wackiness had some novelty value. Now it’s tedious.
In the end, Inferno is a competent thriller, lovingly photographed and faithfully acted. It might even be better than its predecessors, but that's not exactly saying much.
It takes real effort to make a film as heroically awful as Inferno.
This is the third teaming of Tom Hanks, Ron Howard and Dan Brown and it remains a winning combination. You suspect the cinema world has not seen the last of Robert Langdon.
The third of Ron Howard’s Dan Brown capers adds nothing to a woeful franchise.
