THE MAZE RUNNER (2014)
Anybody who is familiar with the popular MTV series Teen Wolf will know who Dylan O'Brien is. And among the young talented cast there are also a few other familiar faces like Thomas Brodie Sangster (Entrusted 2003 and many other guest appearances on both the big and the small screen), Will Poulter (Son Of Rambow 2007 and more recently in The Millers 2013) and Joe Adler (who played the roll of Jason Wylie in the last series of The Mentalist)
Based on yet another best selling novel (this time by James Dashner) The Maze Runner tells the story of Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) who awakes without memory in a strange place called the Glade. There he encounters several other teenage boys in seemingly the same predicament. What's more is that they are surrounded by what appears to be an impenetrable maze. But unlike most of the boys who have been there for various periods of time, Thomas refuses to accept his fate. So then begins his quest for escape.
As I did not read the book yet, I do not know how closely the movie follows the plot which at times tends to become rather pointless. But again, maybe I am not quite fair in my criticism as this film is only part one of the series. The acting by the young cast is very good though and for that alone I rate it 3 out of 5 stars.
