Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Unless you are a Dante scholar, and perhaps not even then, following Inferno is a wild goose chase - without the goose.
Ron Howard's mostly lame adaptation of Dan Brown's wholly lame novel.
You know you've made some poor cinematic choices when you have to make Dan Brown characters less complex.
A stylish but tedious thriller that never does catch fire.
