This is brilliant simply put. Jennifer Lawrence is awesome as Katniss who is a volunteer tribute after her sister was originally chosen to participate in the Hunger Games. She is mentored by Haymitch (Woody Harrelson) a former winner in the arena and his mentorship along with her skills with a bow were key to her survival.

The games take a twist as the other person selected from her District 12 was Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) who has a crush on Katniss and she grows concerned for so her smarts have to kick in to ensure both survive the games.

What makes this work is sticking close to the books and the great casting who brought the characters to light.
