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 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Pinoy Short R Sakto lang. Bago ang Squid game, ito ang pioneer sa ganun genre. Medyo nakulangan pa ko sa gore pero saktong sakto lang sa pamatay oras Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Justin T This film wasn’t as gory as I would have expected for the story. The day-for-night stuff looked a bit strange but I guess that it worked. I liked the cinematography as it was relatively minimalistic. Some of the music came in a bit awkwardly but overall it was pretty good sound. It was all pretty convincing. The story was a little confusing in places but the pace never died. I’m not a big fan of flashbacks but it kept the film moving. You were never far from some murder death kill. I thought that too many people loved each other but I guess that is true of school kids anyway so that gripe can be ignored. It’s a pretty good film with some teenage drama that I didn’t understand but the violence helped that gripe. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/22/25 Full Review Darren D Adults, get out there & make sure you vote in favour of the Millennium Educational Reform Act.
