Having not read the books, this lacked foundation. The characters are hurriedly developed and the wider social context is explored very little. The killings are very tame (12A) and the excessive shakycam distracting, but the lead performances are strong, the story holds interest and the non-shaky sections look great.
Social context somewhat lacking I agree, but some incredibly moving moments and superb performance from Jennifer Lawrence that stops it becoming teenage mush raise it above the average
