"In the future, the Japanese government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act. " ~ Battle Royale (2000)
HQ Thoughts: "When I first saw this, my first reaction was "Whoa! That was brutal" This is a story, involving pubescent kids, a fucked government and survival in which, the survival part is set in a way purely for the governments pleasure.
Everyone is pretty much sent out with a mystery bag and a dog collar that senses movement and plays as a GPS device. If you go too far, boom goes your head. !!! WTF man, these are KIDS! The visual is gritty but they follow each kid with a cool system that keeps you concerned and curious. No names, just gender and number.
OK, well so much for a social experiment, who you thought were your friends, now know your very weakness. Original deaths, dark weird funny moments (if you're a job like myself) and freaky! Good adrenaline inducing flick w/ crazy adolescents."
