NY Daily News: Movie review: ‘The Hunger Games’

It’s a true shot to the heart!
“The Hunger Games,” the highly anticipated movie based on the best-selling teen novel, is as tough-spirited as fans would hope for — and exciting and thought-provoking in a way few adventure dramas ever are.
It’s also a far more serious movie than the marketing, and mainstream mania, have led us to believe.
It’s better and scarier than its source book, and aims an angry eye at our bloodthirsty, watch-anything-and-cheer culture.
And there’s also pro-rebellion, anti-1% sentiment coursing through its blood. While the dark allegory within Suzanne Collins’ 2008 publishing phenomenon remains intact, it’s anchored by a remarkable performance from Jennifer Lawrence and — it has to be said — can’t-look-away action.
