Solid but.......

Rating: 6/10 (21 April 2012)

The book has a lot of possibilities so we were all looking forward to the film version. The film sticks pretty well to the books though the callous nature of the government does not come through strongly enough. Also, hunger was a key element of life in the books that seems to be mostly missing in the film.
Actors and story are solid but, wow, many scenes look like they were shot by an amateur from the back of a bucking bronco, with angle changes every 2 to 3 seconds. It gave me a headache. Never hire this director again they almost ruined this film. Without this issue I would rate the move an 8.
