Inferno Film Review

Finished watching Inferno, directed by Ron Howard and staring Ben Foster, Tom Hanks, Ana Ularu and Felicity Jones. The film opens up with scientist Bertrand Zobrist (Ben Foster) being chased to a tall building were he jumps to his death because of his views and plans to deal with overpopulation. The film then cuts to a hospital in Florence, Italy were Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is being treated for a head wound that has caused some memory loss. Suddenly without warning a police woman (Ana Ularu) starts shooting at him, which causes doctor Sienna Brooks (Felicity Jones) to get Langdon out of the hospital to her home for safety. Once the two are at Sienna's home Langdon come across a object within his clothes made out of human bone that contains an image of Sandro Botticelli's Map of Hell, based on Donte's Inferno, which contains a clue to the location of a virus that Zobrist created and planed to unleash onto the world. Overall this was a decent film as it brings another film the this franchise that began with the Da Vinci Code in 2006 with the same interesting premise that has continued with the franchise thanks to the character of Robert Langdon. The use of Langdon's amnesia in the film is good as it brings almost two mysteries into the film with Langdon's amnesia being the most interesting of the two. Some of the twist and turns within the film don't have the impact that they should as the reveals to some characters true intentions come across as predictable. 6/10.
