It's all pretty dumb, and it marks a career low for director Neil Burger, who's made some first-class indie dramas from his own scripts.

Rotten
The first film adapted from Veronica Roth's generically dystopian book series arrives with a sludgy, gray-hued plop.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
Rotten
The climactic chases, shootouts, and fistfights have been staged, filmed, and edited with insobriety. Visual clarity shouldn't be too much to ask from these movies, even if they fail to achieve ideological coherence.
Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten
Jackhammer music and sound design are all that hold the action scenes together.
Michael Sragow, Orange County Register
