Hunger Games lite.

Shailene Woodley, who was so great in The Spectacular Now, gets her first big lead. And it's amiable, enough, but there's not really anything here that hasn't just been done (usually better), by the same company no less. This film focuses far more on the romance side of things, and having just watched The Raid, the action seemed a little piss-weak. Some interesting production design though. I don't know where the story goes from this point, or if we'll see more, but this feels very much like the first film in a series. I'm hoping it gets a resolution and it gets better and uses the talent involved to their full potential.
