A wonderfully satirical film that both astounds and disturbs with equal measure.

A modern classic of asian cinema, full of many unforgetable moments.

If you can get passed the little hurdle of watching subs you got a great movie in front of you. Battle Royale is set a couple of years in the future where society is failing and a growing barrier violence between kids and adults is becoming too much so the Prime Minister of the country starts a "game" called Battle Royale. The rules for this game are simple, you have 3 days to survive and only 1 person can win which means you must kill your very own friends if you don't want to die. The contestants are chosen based on the worst students of the country. Throughout the movie there is lots of violence and is interesting to see the way some kids deal with the situation coupled with a decent ending and you got yourself a good movie.

Battle Royale was released in 2000 and has gathered such a cult following and fame in other countries that there IS going to be an american re-make, least that's what the rumor mill is saying.

Unbelievable. I couldn't believe I had never seen this before. Hmm - lets make a metaphor for it...ok - Lord of the Flys on a coke bender? It is such an interesting concept in a very bloody film. It has a point if you want to see it, but if you don't its a great little gory action movie without it.

If you don't like action, this is still worth seeing. It is very well done and for as many characters as there were it was easy to follow. - Definitely in my top 10.

I like it a lot, the story, the scenes, the blood, the idea, the music... I dont know, this movie change a lot of things inside me.
