The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
The best business to be in during a rebellion is guillotine sales and maintenance.
Unfortunately, the rabble in this action movie can't afford the extended warranty.
In the wake of her annihilation of the Hungry Games arena, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) is escorted to District 13 where rebel leaders (Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julianne Moore) persuade her to become the spokesperson for the District-wide revolution her actions inspired.
With the Capitol in ruin, President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in hiding, and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) imprisoned, Katniss - with help from the resistance (Natalie Dormer, Sam Claflin, Liam Hemsworth) - plots her friend's rescue and her enemy's execution.
The first instalment of the final entry in the series based on the novels, Mockingjay is the bleakest chapter to date.
While it ultimately feels incomplete, the acting and modern warfare analogies are certainly noteworthy.
However, the mascot for social unrest is already Freddy The Firebomb.
