Elevator Pitch |
At the end of the first film the Divergents appear to be suffering from mind control and have killed everyone in sight, leaving Tris, Four and a couple of others on the run. They move from one problem to another always being chased by armed elements of the authorities, until Tris must give herself up and face a final showdown with Janine and her cohorts. |
Content |
There appear to be three elements in this movie, sometimes people are running away, sometimes they are engaging in firefights with automatic weapons, and sometimes they are being subject to mind control. The mind control sequences are impressive. There is no nudity, no drugs, no booze and one implied sex act. |
A View |
I just could not get over the fact that despite the possible threat of attack no-one on either side ever seemed to take any defensive precautions, and so people with guns would suddenly appear in the enemy stronghold and start shooting. Maybe I was missing something. And I got fed up with seeing Tris looking longingly into the middle distance. And the denoument! Well I’ll go to the foot of our stairs! |
