Rating: 6/10 (2 June 2014)

I just finished watching it. I never read the book. For a couple of years I hear nothing but praise for the film. For the protagonist too. There is nothing particularly wrong with the movie, it's OK, but nothing special. Jennifer Lawrence was the main attraction, at least for her beauty. This is the first and only film I have seen her in so I am not going to be critical about her acting. Visual and special effects were good, but nothing special. If I ever see it again it will probably be to see her. Other than that...so average. Alexander Ludwig was very good, especially near the end of the movie. Isabelle Fuhrman too had a memorable presence. From the more well known actors I expected solid performances and they all delivered.
I am glad I watched this and I would like to watch the sequels, but right now I wish I had a copy of the Running Man to watch.
