Yep, more of the same with just a little more spin on the ball. Langdon regains consciousness in a Florence hospital under the care of a precocious young doctor, F Jones. While having a nice-sized slab of amnesia an assassin attempts to take him out in his room. He and Jones escape and begin another convoluted journey through Florence, Venice, and Istanbul. This is pretty much stock stuff Langdon who uses his detective powers and knowledge of everything from 1700 AD back. We hit three great cities and see just enough to convince us we were really there but no travelogue beyond that. Disappointing. There is the usual bustling about and foot races but a little too typical for the first thirty to forty minutes. After that, we start having a few character changes and red herrings thrown our way which helps save this film from total predictability. This is for you and the ball-and-chain and only if you are seniors. You may not fall asleep--then again . . .
