Jennifer Lawrence

Rating: 4/10 (30 December 2014)

When I watched Jennifer Lawrence in CF it was the first time I witnessed a women playing a believable action hero. JL was just amazing. However, in MJ-1 she has turned into a bit of a wuss. I do not think it was JL but rather the writers/directors padding the film out that has made the character less believable. Creating two films out of one book which I might add I have not read, also created a plodding by the numbers predictable film, which leaves you empty and a bit cheated at the end. Also I cared less about the characters and I am not sure I will bother watching part 2. As with a lot of this type of film we the audience are treated like idiots and I found my self routing for the bad guy, which brings me to Donald Sutherland who is again brilliant playing the pantomime villain, which he plays so well that any film that he is now in he is type cast.
