Inferno is directed by Ron Howard and also based off of the novel by Dan Brown and once more Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is on the chase for the Inferno Virus said to be inspired by Dante's Inferno and this time he has a young doctor named Sienna (Felicity Jones) to help him and various Health officials after him as well.
This movie stinks, it stinks to its very core and it has to be one of the 3 worst films I have sat through all year in a cinema in that I physically hated sitting there in my seat and there is but one simple answer as to why that its.
And that is David Koepp's script which is all over the place in terms of its storytelling structure, plot twists and central mystery none of these elements feel like they come together in an exciting and mysterious way and while some of the visions of the end of the world were fun to watch at first (mainly because they reminded me of X-Men Apocalypse) after a while they and the film began to bore me and I just wanted it to be over.
This movie also makes the capital crime of being a waste of great talent and top of the list is Howard who had only just made a wonderful documentary about the Touring Years of the Beatles this just serves to be further proof that there is only so much a director can do with a rotten screenplay and Hanks is right up there beside him and he was so good in Sully what a shame to see him here looking bored with it all.
Felicity Jones a lovely young actress comes across as flat and boring in her role while Ben Foster and Omar Sy don't make much of an impression in their roles while Iffran Khan was probably the only person I enjoyed in this whole damned thing and even then it was only because I kept thinking of the Imran Khan parody from the Late Show and when that happens you know this movie isn't doing anything for you at all.
And so that was Inferno a film that stinks frankly and you shouldn't bother seeing it, 1 out of 5.
