Divergent is intelligently brought
to life on the big screen from the director who brought us
"Limitless" and "The Illusionist." Are we seeing something
of similar essence with the "Hunger Games" series? Yes. However, my
personal take was that the characters were more engaging and the plot was as
well in this film. Shailene is excellent at the helm, and really brings forth a
convincing portrayal of a heroine battling in a world where chaos and tragedy
envelope the characters. Her graceful emergence from shy personality to
dominance is done cleverly and really speaks to her ability as an actress. Theo
James is also exceptional in the co-pilot role and almost effortlessly seems to
pull off the bad boy with standards persona. I can write this piece while
honestly saying that I was not bored during the entirety of the film and was
pleased to see this film do such an excellent job at developing both the plot
and characters involved in it. Highly Recommend.
