Now I haven't seen allot of shailene Woodley in the past but she was great in this film and really carried this film to be honest. I loved seeing her transformation from normal girl to efficient warrior and you bought it because of how good her performance was.
Theo James plays the romance for Woodley and to be honest I wasn't a huge fan of this guy and to be honest he seems more suited for another franchise called twilight. Kate Winslet is a great actor but this film really undercut Her acting ability by giving her about 20 mins in the film. The big surprise though was jai Courtney as one of the bad guys and I actually liked him in this role and bought him in this role and he was good in this film.
I do like training in films like this so the first half of this film was pretty interesting to me but after that it goes a bit off the rails. First of all they don't really give enough information on this dystopian future. Also I didn't really buy the love story at all and the overall story seemed pretty weak as well.
The script was okay with the drama towards the end of the film actually coming across well and making you care about the film. However, there was allot of cliche dialogue that really didn't help the characters in the film.
The style is one of the best things about this film with all the action being shot brilliantly and it made me feel like this action was all real and really well done.
Overall this is a good film and definitely means I will try to watch the sequel insurgent.
