   Divergent   
   2014 PG-13 139 minutes    
   Average rating: 2.2   
      
   Born into a civilization in the distant future, Beatrice is a teenager who   
   learns that her unique cognitive skills make her useful to the authorities.   
   Over time she discovers that she's a Divergent, and thus slated for   
   elimination by the government.   
      
   Cast: Shailene Woodley, Kate Winslet, Theo James,   
      
      
      
   Beatrice isn't strong she is weak.  First she's a good little sheeple who goes   
   along with the grotesque program.  Then she chooses to join the Thug faction.    
   Finally she uses more and more violence to save the day.   The setting isn't   
   very credible    
   either, there's just no way the remains of Chicago would support the society   
   depicted.  And then there's all the things not answered, like where did the   
   lake go?
