What was this all about? To start with, I like Jean-Claude Van Damme, and many of the user comments here praise this as one of his better film. I totally disagree. I like Jean-Claude for what he does best, which is kicking along with well scripted one liners. Jean-Claude has shown that with a good script and larger-then-live action sequences he can bring us pretty good films, with Hard Target being my favorite. Other average but watchable films are for example; Universal Soldiers, Nowhere to run and Timecop. But Inferno is an oddity to me. It is true that we have some good humor from the support cast and the idea behind the story is not all that bad. However, I was at loss as to Jean-Claude's character. Why did he want to kill himself, and what was this mysterious relationship he had with the Indian. The mixture of reality and some dream-Indian-coyote world was awkward, and the love story unbelievable (He meet the woman for 5min, and from that point they were like a couple???). So all in all, pretty sad effort, but OK due to good support cast. 4/10
