Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook) is superb. It's hard to imagine that she can get even better than this, but she is still young and let's hope for her sake and ours that her talent continues to grow. Stanley Tucci (Devil Wears Prada), Donald Sutherland (Pride and Prejudice) and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Twister) all give (expected) strong performances. Woody Harrelson (Doc Hollywood) has 'upped his game' recently and is delivery higher quality stuff. But it is the acting by both Elizabeth Banks (Definitely, Maybe) and Jena Malone (Contact) that is rightly drawing raves- they are surprisingly very strong.
A good plot, well-delivered at a great pace, I highly recommend it. I would see again (and again) and look forward to the remaining two Hunger Games films.
