![]() Said billionaire, named Zobrist (Ben Foster), has conveniently left behind a trail of breadcrumbs, one seemingly designed to be deciphered by Langdon, the noted professor of symbology. The plot involves a pathogen intended to decimate half of the human race, the brainchild of a crazed billionaire (is there any other kind such movies?) who’s convinced that to save the planet, Earth must significantly thin the herd. The ho-hum feel can’t be blamed on novelist Dan Brown, since no one could prod him to “raise the stakes,” to use a popular note in Hollywood pitch meetings. Director Ron Howard has paced the movie like one extended chase, but despite plentiful action, it’s generally about as suspenseful as an art-history lesson. Marking Tom Hanks’ third adventure as “The Da Vinci Code’s” Robert Langdon, “Inferno” isn’t so hot.
