You could tell Tom Hanks was struggling with this action movie. As he races across the square in the poster, just how many yards did he make? Having said that, Inferno was an expensively well made installment of the Dan Brown books. Quite good fun if you leave your brain at home
I only went to see Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children as I thought it might be something like director Tim Burton's Dark Shadows. I was wrong. This was awful. Despite being packed with great acting talent, the writing was so poor, it felt like everyone was embarrassed to be there. Burton did his best with some great visuals but when the screenplay is so clunky, I do get annoyed.
Fortunately, the script for Jack Reacher: Never Go Back is pretty good for an action movie. It has to be as the fights and chases are not overdone. However I did wonder in parts if this was not Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible outing. Like Hanks, he is getting a bit old for these types of movies. But at least he prepares well physically. The movie itself is again expensively made, it looks good on the ultra wide screen and is great fun. But when are we going to get something that taxes the old brain cells?
