Inferno

The latest in the Dan Brown authored, Tom Hanks as Professor Robert Langdon, romping through Europe, solving historical mysteries.  If it sounds better on paper, then you've seen the best of this series.  Inferno is not the best.

Langdon wakes up in a hospital in Florence, Italy, not knowing how he got there.  His beautiful doctor (Felicity Jones) attempts to jog his memory.  The story turns on an Elon Musk-ish billionaire, who seeks to avoid the Earth's Malthusian crash by introducing the Black Plague back into the world to thin the population rising at an unsustainable rate.  Doing it for our own good.

So Langdon must stop him, while reviewing Dante's works on Hell, looking for clues.  He is assisted in that every tourist stop he goes into is closed, so he is the only one there.

Good news is that the scenery of Florence, Venice and Istanbul is lovely.  Bad news is the thin plot, the hard to follow story  and the lame acting.
