Swiss Cheese Attacked by a Drill

Rating: 4/10 (17 November 2015)

This adaptation from the Novel of the same title is basically a grab at some of the cash claimed by the Hunger Games series. My major quarrel with this film is the story. I've never read the novel so it could be a case of a bad adaption or just a really terrible book.
The premise and story are just so terribly and painfully riddled with plot holes, flaws, unrealistic characters and things that just don't make sense. A world like this could never exist, even in fiction it makes no sense. Who's keeping everyone in their factions. Are people without factions brain dead? or are they capable of uprising? What is the threat of rebelling. Why was she immune to the miraculously invented serum which was never explained. Who were the scientists who invented the serum? Was it the really really smart house? And if their really really smart then why aren't they capable of independent thought and overthrow the rulers. This film is so flawed and that's just the beginning.
Katniss makes no sense. Tris sorry. The 'hot' guy is too old for her its creepy as cuss. He has 0 personality, his only trait being afraid of heights and shooting hot girls in the face....... right, OK.
And its such a shame because every other aspect to this film, Cinematography, production design, editing, basically everything is really quite decent and Jessica Whoodley is outstanding as usual. Its just... the story basically which is just so armature juvenile and sickeningly bad.
It's just a copycat load of garbage worse than a parody.
