It's
almost as if the role of Katniss Everdeen, the sad-eyed but
steely heroine of the best-selling series The Hunger Games, was
written expressly for Jennifer Lawrence.
With The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire (**1/2 out of four; rated PG-13,
opening Thursday in select theaters and Friday nationwide), Lawrence
has evolved believably in the role of the increasingly rebellious
Katniss. The Oscar-winning actress can nimbly pull off the dazzling
fashion-show moments in this futuristic drama, as well as the
considerable action exploits and emotional shadings required of her
tortured character. Whether on the runway or shooting an arrow,
Lawrence is powerfully convincing.
Based
on the books by Suzanne Collins, this second in the series follows
Katniss after she has returned home from winning the
fight-to-the-death competition, along with her partner Peeta
Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). (It's a grim game of sheer survival,
pitting pairs from each of 12 oppressed districts.) Katniss and Peeta
have been handsomely rewarded, their bleak, poverty-stricken lives
replaced with physical comforts, courtesy of the totalitarian regime
they live under. But there is discontent brewing.
