Thankfully, after an underwhelming
penultimate effort that outstayed its welcome courtesy of a prolonged road trip narrative, the final
film sends the
series off
in the style it deserves.
Spearheading the effort is game - maker cum turncoat for the resistance Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman,
in his
penultimate performance) and President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore, new to the
series), attempting to create a wedge through the use of propaganda pieces with the help of a
film crew (headed by Natalie Dormer) looking to unite the districts behind Katniss, the titular Mockingjay.
