Inferno (2016)

By far the weakest of the Ron Howard/ Tom Hanks, Robert Langdon films. Skipping The Lost Symbol and heading straight to the most recent book in the series, this time Langdon most prevent the release of a deadly plague designed to kill off half the people of the world as a quick remedy to overpopulation. Of course to do so Langdon must solve archaic riddles and wade through Renaissance trivium, as always in the company of an attractive, European, brunette woman (in this case Felicity Jones, an actress who I really want to like, but so far find myself a little underwhelmed by). Warmed over cinematic leftovers not even Ben Foster or Sidse Babett Knudsen can redeem. **
