Divergent (2014)

Preparing for Divergent (Photo credit: claireviolet82)

DIVERGENT is a thrilling action-adventure film set in a world where people are divided into distinct factions based on human virtues. Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy by a faction leader (Kate Winslet) to destroy all Divergents, Tris must learn to trust in the mysterious Four (Theo James) and together they must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late. Based on the best-selling book series by Veronica Roth. (C) Summit

My review: Gripping, riveting, and cutting close to the bone, this movie grabs you and doesn’t let go. And here, I was expecting a “Hunger Games” ripoff.

My rating: 4.5 out of 5
