Mystery thriller based on the bestseller by Dan Brown, starring Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones. Renowned symbologist Dr Robert Langdon wakes up in a Florence hospital with a head injury and no memory of the previous 48 hours. However, he soon finds himself hunted and forced to undertake a globe-trotting race against time to prevent the release of a deadly virus capable of killing half the world's population.
Tom Hanks returns as Harvard academic Dr Robert Langdon in this third outing for Dan Brown's literary hero. It opens with evil genius Bertrand Zobist (Ben Foster) taking his own life, leaving behind a deadly virus that's hidden in a public place. And so begins the standard treasure hunt that pinballs between various good-looking historic sites, with so many woozy, high-speed tracking shots as to give you motion sickness. While Hanks is always watchable, even he struggles to make Langdon interesting, while Felicity Jones is wasted in a supporting role as his sounding board. Director Ron Howard fails to inject any urgency into proceedings, producing a lumbering Frankenstein's monster of a movie that's dead on its feet.
