Review of Inferno (2016) by Stanleykubrick — 27 Oct 2016
It's not easy to review this film, because what are the standards for a 'good Dan Brown adaptation' ? You can't make gold out of crap. That said, I found this film cinematic, beautifully shot, well cast and it has some good scenes.
Does it make sense? Not really, but I've seen worse films. I liked the colorful supporting actors, especially Ana Ularu as the ruthless assassin Vayentha. She has nearly no dialogue and very few scenes, but makes a powerful impression.
Usually I don't buy the Hollywood actresses in 'tough parts', but she was tough as nails. I would have loved to see more of her. All in all, if you're a Dan Brown nut, you might enjoy this a lot, because it's formula, but otherwise it's more of a rental.
