It's tempting to dismiss director Wes Ball's adaptation of James Dashner's young adult novel as a Hunger Games knock-off, but to do so would be unfair. A breath of fresh air into what is rapidly becoming a crowded sub-genre, The Maze Runner is a slickly plot-driven flick that delivers the basic sense of adventure that is sometimes missing from its relentlessly brooding cinematic progenitor. The premise is fiendishly simple: Amnesic youth Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) finds himself deposited in the Glade, a large spread of pasture and woodlands in the center of an even larger Maze.
