The leader of the rebels, Alma Coin, wants to keep using Katniss as a figurehead in propaganda videos, but Katniss and Gale want to be on the frontline. When it falls, their path to the Capitol is clear, and plans for a final assault are drawn up. With her hunky pal Gale, she and the rebel leaders in District 2 carry out a plan to defeat the loyalist mountain stronghold there. With the rebels’ power growing, taking District 2 has become a priority, the final stepping stone before attacking the Capitol itself. Katniss is as driven as ever, but Lawrence shows us how damaged she has been by her seemingly endless parade of trials and trauma. The lead role the first to truly introduce Jennifer Lawrence to the masses, and she is still a force of nature beyond her 25 years. Katniss knows that nothing good can happen while Snow is still alive, so during her friend Finnick’s wedding, she sneaks aboard a cargo vessel bound for District 2. As the film opens, she is still recovering from the wounds inflicted upon her by her former friend Peeta, turned against her by the torture and conditioning of her enemy President Snow. Katniss Everdeen, the ‘Mockingjay’ of the title, is a political symbol of rebellion for Panem against the autocratic Capitol. Well, fans of the films and books will be pleased to hear that ‘Part 2’ delivers on the promise, justifying the wait with a well-mounted and terrifically acted finale. ‘Part 1’, while very politically astute, suffered from the typical problem of feeling too much like an inconsequential introduction to the final film – the real conclusion. The third book in the ‘Hunger Games’ saga went the way of the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’ franchises before it, splitting its action into two films.
