Worth a Watch

Rating: 7/10 (22 October 2014)

22 October 2014 Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Tonight - The Maze Runner. The whole feel of this film was kind of Lord of The Flies meets The Hunger Games. A group of boys have been placed in 'the glade' in the centre of a maze. Their community has been added to gradually over time and they have evolved their own rules and each person has their own job to perform. Some of the boys are runners, tasked with running into the maze every day to find a way out. This film was very intense from the outset and I spent the whole time trying to work out why they were there. Another adaptation from a book, which I haven't read, but a very watchable film. I'm not sure it will be as successful as The Hunger Games but worth seeing in it's own right. Look out for Thomas Brodie-Sangster, you will remember him as the cute kid from Love Actually who learned to play the drums to win the girl........well he's all grown up now!!!!!
