Failure to ignite

Inferno (2016)

Directed by Ron Howard this film based on the novel of the same name stars Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Ben Foster and Omar Sy. Waking up with his memory gone Robert Langon follows another series of puzzles to try to save the world from a plague.

Mixing some interesting ideas about the future of humanity with religious and plague based end times iconography unfortunately this film falls well short. The plot does not entirely make sense and seems to have strayed from it's source material. Even Tom Hanks seems to be phoning in this third instalment in the franchise.


2/5
