They show medical personnel wrapping Katniss' bruised rib cage. Doctors very rarely do this now, as it leads to shallow breathing that can increase the chances of pneumonia.

User Reviews

A Happy Audience was left Awed and Shocked (In a good way)

Just a clear example of how good YA films can actually be.

The acting is superb, with Jennifer Lawrence stealing the show with her most emotionally driven, motivated and dark portrayal as Katniss yet.

The cinematography is gorgeous, teeming with beautiful shots and well filmed action sequences.

The action sequences are thrilling, intense and vibrant.

The social commentary and bleak themes of the series are explored to their extent in this last installment.

Fantastic action film and fantastic piece of commentary visually displaying an important issue and topic of our time.
