Add a CommentThis wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, it is far from being good. I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way. Just another shootem up bangem up move. Very predictable.
I highly recommend reading the book/manga if you liked this movie. You can find the book at Barnes n Nobles and it has more character story.
CLASSIC! I wonder if this was the inspiration of Hunger Games. I've seen other directors take on a similar idea but fail horribly. Battle Royale is amazingly done. Great actors, excellent Director, the setting and camera work is brilliant. Hunger Games is the only version that has been similar that has interested me since Battle Royale. Definite Japanese horror movie staple.
