Review of Battle Royale (2000) by Seth Y — 05 Jan 2015
After years of hearing great things about this film, I finally picked it up on Blu-ray and sat down to watch it. I'm glad to say it lived up to all the praise I've heard. Die-hard fans might get sick of the comparison, but the one thing that I've always been told was that this is a bloodier, more brutal version of The Hunger Games.
Even though this came first, I can definitely understand why they are always put together. However, this is the much better film in my eyes. It's as intense as I expected, with some truly unforgettable sequences that I'm still thinking about.
With such a disturbing and unsettling concept, I was hoping for tons of bloody violence, and this film really delivered.
