Insurgent (2015)
Insurgent is the second film in The Divergent Series, released in 2015 and directed by Robert Schwentke (RED, The Time Traveler's Wife), adapted from Veronica Roth's second novel by screenwriters Brian Duffield, Akiva Goldsman and Mark Bomback. Shailene Woodley returns as Tris Prior, now a fugitive haunted by guilt following the events of the first film, as the ruthless Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet) hunts her down in pursuit of a mysterious box that only a Divergent can open. Theo James returns as Four, with Miles Teller's Peter and Naomi Watts joining the ensemble as Four's mother Evelyn. The film grossed over $297 million worldwide and raises the stakes of the first film considerably, with Schwentke delivering more ambitious action sequences and a darker emotional register as Tris confronts her own trauma. The simulation sequences in particular are visually inventive and give the film a distinctive identity within the franchise.
Highlights
- Shailene Woodley's performance — Woodley carries the film's considerable emotional weight with real conviction; Tris's guilt, grief and self-destructive impulses give her more dramatic material than the first film and she handles it with the naturalistic intelligence that distinguishes her from most YA heroines.
- The simulation sequences — Schwentke uses the film's simulation-within-simulation structure to deliver a series of visually inventive set pieces; the burning house sequence and the floating city simulation are among the franchise's most striking images.
- Kate Winslet as Jeanine — Winslet brings genuine menace and cold intelligence to the franchise's central villain; her Jeanine is a true believer rather than a simple tyrant, and that ideological conviction makes her considerably more frightening.
- Miles Teller as Peter — The franchise's most entertaining supporting character; Teller's Peter is treacherous, self-serving and consistently funny, and his scenes with Woodley give the film some of its best comic and dramatic moments.
- The escalating stakes — Schwentke and the screenwriters successfully expand the world of the first film; the introduction of the factionless, the revelation of what lies beyond the fence and the film's cliffhanger ending all set up the franchise's final chapters with real momentum.
