It's time for the dystopian Panem's annual Hunger Games and each district must choose two Tributes to battle to the death in a televised tournament run by sadistic aristocrats. Among the twenty-four unlucky chosen ones is Katniss Everdeen, a headstrong survivor with keen hunting skills.
True to its source material and utilizing a tight budget for a major blockbuster, the first installment in the "(The) Hunger Games" feature films manages a talented cast of A-listers, a believable dystopian society, and some mediocre visual effects.
I wasn't too fond of the overuse of shaky cam, but it did bring an enhanced effect to the action scenes that probably wouldn't have felt like action scenes at all without the camera tricks. Nonetheless, the storyline was incredibly dramatic and chilling.
If you want to witness one of those career-defining performances, you'd watch "The Hunger Games" for Jennifer Lawrence. 84!
