After the enormous success of The Hunger Games, every Hollywood studio went looking for its own young adult action franchise. 20th Century Fox has come up with Wes Ball’s The Maze Runner, the first in a planned trilogy of quasi-science fiction suspense stories and a corker of an exciting and entertaining thriller. Starring a cast of mostly unknowns with a few familiar faces popping up in some key roles, the film is an edge-of-your-seat action film cleverly revealing only bits and pieces of its complex puzzle along the way. It’s aptly named: the literal maze the characters face is likewise experienced by the audience who will be finding their own way in the dark through this and subsequent twisty pieces of the story.
