YesAsia Editorial Description
To counter increasing youth violence, the Japanese government has envoked the Battle Royale Act as a warning to the nation's youth. A high school class is unwillingly drafted into a deadly game of survival. Taken to a remote island, the teenagers are each given one weapon and a deadline - kill each other or be killed. Only the winner can leave the island alive.

I would give this more than 5 stars if it were possible. most amazing film u will ever see in the history of asian cinema...something the americans would never ever consider showing...unless its a remake which is what is looking likely with this movie. this will leave u absolutely speechless but glued to ur seat throughout. at first glance it just seems like a gory sick cult thriller movie which it is in a way. but another aspect of the film is that its contents actually have a meaning behind it, it's thought-provoking and captivating, making u think what would u do in that given situation. it takes an issue that is actually occuring in modern day society - younger generation of kids caring less about education and turning to crime, and truenting from school, which is what makes this film particularly powerful i would recommend this to anyone who wants to see something different from all the other typical films coming out of hollywood |

This customer review refers to Battle Royale (Hong Kong Version)
| When I first decided to watch Battle Royale, it was because I heard there was a lot of blood and gore in this movie. But after seeing it, I realize it's much more than just that. There's good character development and humor in the way the teacher acts like this whole competition is perfectly normal. Would you kill your classmates to live? |

This customer review refers to Battle Royale
| This movie is a must-see for everyone. Yes, it is somewhat of a blood-fest because of the killing, but it's more than that. It has a solid storyline, no questions asked. You really get to see the lives of these teens and through what goes on in the battlefield. Alliances are made and friends are betrayed. This movie will make you go through many highs and lows. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. |

This customer review refers to Battle Royale
| It is a battle between children and adults. It is a battle between friends, classmates and loved ones. It is a battle for survival. The students are commanded to kill each other in order to survive...and like the cliche in Immortal...there can only be one. If faced with this kind of dilemma, what would you do? Over and above the gore and the brutality, this movie is as real as your everyday routine...would you kill to survive? |
