Well Made & Effective Thriller.
Added 3/1/2007
Ray Liotta the master of versatile acting is excellent in this film that he is practally in every scene of this film thus delveloping his character very well to the viewer. Liotta plays a career crimminal who wakes up in the desert with total amesia after falling out of a moving car down a steep and rough hill. He soon then encounters Vicky, a sexy waitress, who helps jack on his journey to finding out who he is, along the way trying to stay alive from his gang of murderous thieves after an ambush from the FBI follwing an armoured car heist. Preditcable storyline but delvered with great acting, especally form Armin Muller Stahl who seems to really enjoy playing the villian. Engaging storyline and evolving characters make INFERNO a great film to watch.

Nice Liotta Flick
Added 11/22/2004
We wake up in a desert. It feels hot, itchy and a bit dreamy, and who the hell am I anyway? From here our protagonist stumbles fortuitously into scrapes and close-calls with dangerous people who all want something from him now, or else - if only he could remember what.
Jack (no fixed last name) reflexively outwits his dangers and forestalls any consequences, while piecing together fragments of his former life - with an acute new perspective on it. It's a good hypothesis - what if a man could all of a sudden see his life objectively, and how would he react?
The film, shot in Mexico, has a great hot and sticky look (a la Traffic), and Armin Mueller-Stahl is a bonus as the oddly-named "MacCaulay" (sounding more East German than Scot.) Other players mainly support Jack's movement in the story, and it feels that way sometimes.

a good old fun Liotta flick, predictable but great
Added 10/21/2003
its predictale but the story and turns and twists are good. Liotta sparks the screen as the man who wakes up and doesnt know who he is(sorta like The Bourne Identity but much violent). good action and car chases. for die hard Liotta fans

Decent Guy Flick
Added 7/19/2000
For a low budget cable B movie, this was actually pretty decent. Jack (Ray Liotta) wakes up in the desert with a bump on his head and total amnesia. Vicky (Gloria Reuben) gives him a ride and helps starts him on his way to trying to find out who he is. Of course, while he is trying to piece it all together, some very nasty characters are trying to kill him.The story is intriguing and handled well. It is somewhat predictable, but there are a few interesting plot twists, a good deal of violence, and plenty of car chases and action sequences. The ending was rather unfulfilling but not terrible. The film was written and directed by Harley Cokliss, whose prior experience includes mostly TV credits. Cokliss' direction was straightforward and unremarkable, much like the desert he was shooting. The acting of the three leads was good, particularly Liotta, who has some excellent performances on his resume (Copland, Goodfellas). He has a knack for making the bad guy seem likeable, and that was the case again here. Gloria Reuben also gave a good performance as Vicky, though it was a pretty minor role. Armin Mueller-Stahl is always strong in supporting roles and he was particularly good here as the heavy. I rated this film a 6/10. Good acting, engaging story and adequate direction. Add one or two points if you like guy flicks.
