lack quality beyond Jennifer Lawrence

Rating: 5/10 (5 August 2012)

Quite disappointed by this movie. It's not bad (hence the 6) but it feels (i) long, (ii) a Politically Correct version of Battle-Royale (without the vista of the Japanese Master), (iii) lacking polish in the story (not real depth for any character), (iv) lacking charm, (v) lacking any depth or character development
Very disappointed after all the noise that was done around this movie. I was expecting something both more subtle and more deep.
This movie barely scraps the surface of a potentially interesting world but depict it so badly that it feels very very bland and too soft...
But: Jennifer Lawrence is beautiful, full of charm and she will go very far... This girl definitively has something that screams "star" in her...
