If I’m not mistaken Kate Winslet has only 5 to 6 scenes in this movie. But her character serves a big part of the movie. There’s a lot of surprises and suspense in this film that people didn’t expect. From Tris on how long she can hide that she is a Divergent. And of course if there are a lot of good sides on this film there’s also bad side. The day of the aptitude test where in you stand in front of the bowl, cut your hands and let the blood drip in a choosing faction. This one is a no to me maybe because I’m afraid of blood I don’t know I find it so painful. There’s a lot of violence, particularly during the initiation process to become a Dauntless. Jumping from a moving train to the roof a building some hurt and died. The fighting wherein they given a weapons and need to shot each other. The part that Tris needs to stand while Eric the leader of the group throwing a knives to her until one of her ear got hit. The scene where the Erudite attacked Abnegation lots of dead bodies lying on the ground with blood on them. Tris also forced to kill one of her friend in this film. There’s a part that one of the Dauntless commit suicide by hanging himself. All in all I can say that this film is very good. Four stars but this is not recommended for the children under 13 years
