DAN BROWN INFERNO MOVIE CAST CODE
DAN BROWN INFERNO MOVIE CAST SERIES

It is written in law that in the events that follow, Langdon must, in strictly the same order, enlist the help of an exotic woman, run hand in hand across exotic European locations, ‘solve’ cryptic puzzles displaying stunning leaps of logic, get chased by a silent assassin, while a shady organization traces his every move.

In a half-hearted attempt to shake things up (this series is soooo cookie cutter), Hanks’ Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is given amnesia this time – like some sort of academic Jason Bourne. In the Heart of the Sea review: Hemsworth’s whale of an adventure

No joke, this film had, at one point, 3 villains and 1 Terminator chasing Hanks across Florence. It is overstuffed with more red herrings and rug pulls and unnecessary characters than the number of times Tom Hanks grimaces that famous Tom Hanks grimace. The plot, this time around, is even more ludicrous than that one time Robert Langdon found the ‘last living descendant of Jesus Christ’. It’s the one thing that fans of the series can never reasonably counter. As ridiculous as these films are, there sure is a lot of heavy-handed exposition.

DAN BROWN INFERNO MOVIE CAST CODE

It was a common complaint for both The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons that they took themselves too seriously – which is a fair criticism (but not necessarily one that I agree with). But with so much talent involved, you’d think that they’d find a way around that, wouldn’t you? Maybe they’d embrace that pulp fiction origins of Dan Brown’s novels and make it more campy. Right from the opening credits (which have the look and feel of something put together by a crunched-for-time YouTube vlogger), it is clear that this time, Ron Howard didn’t have the luxury of a tentpole budget.

Inferno immediately stands apart from its two predecessors – in all the wrong ways. It’s difficult to get pumped for Inferno, but this time, they have that secret weapon (at least in our minds), don’t they? They have Irrfan Khan… But more on that later. It would also explain why Inferno comes seven long years after Angels & Demons (an unusually long gap between films by any standard), and at a time when Dan Brown’s source novels are at their least popular. But here’s the thing – and once again, this is something most would agree on – both films have, in the years that followed, developed quite an audience at home.Īnd perhaps this is the only reason Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard returned to make another. Some of those murmurs about Da Vinci Code getting booed for 15 minutes by angry Frenchmen immediately after its Cannes premiere in 2006 are still invoked when reminiscing about notorious cinematic disasters. But yes, we can all safely agree that both The Da Vinci Code, and its sequel Angels & Demons (which were both much better films that most give them credit for) were unfairly panned upon release. Ok, so that was a bit of an exaggeration. Fool me three times, shame on both of us. Cast - Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Irrfan Khan, Omar Sy, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Ben Fosterįool me once, shame on you.
