Beatrice Prior must confront her inner demons and continue her fight against a powerful alliance which threatens to tear her society apart with the help from others on her side (www.imdb.com).
Director: Robert Schwentke (Flightplan, RED, R.I.P.D)
Starring: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet, Miles Teller, Ansel Elgort, Jai Courtney, Zoe Kravitz, Octavia Spencer, Naomi Watts
Insurgent follows where Divergent ended. Divergents Tris (Woodley) and Four (James) are on the run from Jeanine's (Winslet) tyrannical charge in post-apocalyptic Chicago. Taking solitude with the Amity faction, the couple, along with Peter (Teller) and Tris's brother Caleb (Elgort), hide out until the time comes to strike back, and seek vengeance on those who've killed Tris's parents. Nowhere is safe and the five faction's ideologies are torn. Neither are right or wrong, expect for the malicious Jeanine and her intention on using and abusing Divergents. The deeper the story goes, the more implausible it becomes. Why was this society divided in the first place? Why are the Divergent such a threat? Hopefully this questions will be answered. Woodley's tremendous acting distracts us from suspending judgement, struggling with her past decisions. Winslet is satanical yet serene as the villain, Miles Teller has moments of redemption and Theo James is more than eye candy this time round. Everyone else misses their mark, just like every gunshot misses theirs. Insurgent is a 12A film that plays it safe where nobody's in any real danger.
