Inferno (2016) Review

 

Inferno was one of those movies that really made you think. Its cast of characters is lively and three dimensional. They aren't always what they appear on the surface. Half the time you don't really know who to trust and when you do figure it out you are still full of doubts.

The story was gripping. Grabbing you by your very throat and squeezing the very life out of you. You never knew what was coming and every idea you would have about its direction is gonna leave you scratching your head wondering how you didn’t see that coming. The writing and acting, too, was top notch. Everyone fit their roles perfectly and every plot point hit with significant force. My jaw hit the floor several times just wondering what else the film would throw at me.

The fight scenes, while not as frequent or as violent as something like a John Wick movie, were still exciting and kept you on the edge of your seat. Following the film was easier than predicting where it was going and you never really knew what the outcome of each altercation was going to be. Every plot point just left you wanting more. Every word said by every character was like a drug. All you wanted was more and this film was exceptional because of it.

9 out of 10
