Hanks’ co-star in this, Felicity Jones, plays Sienna Brooks, a hospital doctor who is snatched up in the race to prevent human extinction when she saves the good Robert from death at the hands of a corrupt Florentine policewoman. Langdon’s history with World Heath Organisation agent Sinskey (Sidse Babett Knudsen), told in flashback, is as close as we’ve come to any kind of development to the character across all three films, while the film’s sense of frantic action and breathless “thrills”, none of which are actually thrilling, predispose such development to be forgotten as quickly as it’s established. Hanks, as always, is as resolute a screen performer as Hollywood can offer his Robert Langdon is also as bland a cypher through which exposition is relayed as modern film has managed to capture. While the opening half of the film deals with Brown’s patented puzzles-and-clues routines, prominently featuring the concept of Dante’s Inferno (heh, I guess that’s where they get the title, right?…) to what end I’m still not entirely sure, the second half of the film collides logic and cinematic routineness to deliver a film short on smarts, plentiful on beautiful locations and off-the-tourist-path action, and ultimately lacking in coherence. Inferno lacks both DaVinci Code’s raw sense of discovery and Angels & Demons‘ sense of Papal fanaticism and conspiracy, evolving into a fairly plain “ticking clock” film whereby Hanks’ character is shoved firmly out of his comfort zone to become some kind of fringe action hero.

The third in the increasingly banal Dan Brown film series (based on his books) following The DaVinci Code and Angels & Demons, Ron Howard’s Inferno once more sees Tom Hanks essaying the author’s eponymous symbologist hero in Robert Langdon as he attempts to unlock a puzzle that will prevent… the collapse of humanity? To be honest, Inferno’s central premise offers not a lick of sense in the making, stumbling around the idea that humanity is barely forty years away from total collapse due to overpopulation (an idea which has merit), and that a cleverclogs science dude has come up with a way of solving this problem kill most of the people on the Earth.Īs with the previous books/films, Brown’s narrative is breathless, often confusing, and always gleefully abandoned in the pursuit of potboiler intellectualism and overripe theoreticals about symbols, Renaissance paintings and the meaning behind it all. Sienna Brooks, and together they must race across Europe against the clock to foil a deadly global plot. Synopsis: When Robert Langdon wakes up in an Italian hospital with amnesia, he teams up with Dr. Principal Cast : Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan, Omar Sy, Ben Foster, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Ana Ularu.
