Wylie T Battle Royale is a shocking and powerful film about a class of students forced to fight each other to the death. It mixes action, drama, and dark humor to show how fear and violence can change people. The movie is intense and emotional, with strong performances and a story that keeps you thinking long after it ends. It is violent and disturbing, but also smart and meaningful, showing how society uses control and fear to break people apart. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/21/25 Full Review Dean R A classic for a reason. Amazing cinema from start to finish and arguably one of the films that put modern Japanese cinema on the map. The cast is brilliant and the cinematography is outstanding. A must watch in my eyes! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Ronald S A classic that should not be passed on for those who are interested in older movies and of such genre. With the modern day improvements, this show pales starkly in comparison in almost all aspects. The acting is relatively lackluster, there are too many focus characters that depth is lost, and there are plenty of plot holes. Despite so, the show does well in portraying emotions, choices, and the likely chaos if such a thing happens in reality. Would not recommend for those who are looking for a casual movie to pass time, as this show requires you to be fully engaged. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/11/25 Full Review Ry N In the Japanese Hunger Games, 42, no, 41, no, 40 kids are sent to a deserted island each with Suicide Squad collars and random weapons to fight. This movie aged well with a solid pacing as they show backstories and relationships between the competitors. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review andrea c Geniale survival movie nipponico che apre le porte ad un genere già sperimentato a livello letterario ma mai trasposto in ambito cinematografico. La sceneggiatura è ottima e si compone di una serie di brevi sequenze che danno importanza a numerosi personaggi, che pure per pochi minuti, diventano protagonisti a turno e permettono allo spettatore di empatizzare e di emozionarsi alla morte di quasi ognuno di essi. Probabilmente inizio e fine sono le parti leggermente più deboli del film, il primo è poco chiaro mentre la seconda lascia parecchi punti in sospeso che non soddisfano totalmente. Nel mezzo però, c'è il coraggio di un film di lunga durata (lunghissima con la director's cut) interpretato in puro stile giapponese, con caratteristiche attoriali completamente diverse da quelle occidentali, che rendono il prodotto ancora più originale e coraggioso. Fin troppo semplice dare a questo film il merito di aver aperto la strada a numerosissime opere del genere, tra cui Hunger Games e Squid Game. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Eliot K. Dubs are terrible and it has none of the good themes of the original book and does it a massive injustice.
