Battle Royale

cool concept but mid plot

It’s not perfect but it’s unabashedly what it is. The violence and gore is definitely there. The death scenes could have used a little bit of work but I kinda like how unrealistic they seemed to me even though idk the proper way to die suddenly. The dub is terrible but doable

way too long and a bit boring

Massively influential and massively enjoyable. Brutal and grisly kills all encapsulated in an absolute blast of a film. The list of things this inspired is too long to even begin so we owe it a lot. Excellent use of music too, the opening hooks you via music alone

Foreign film dome right. Yes the script/translation is terrible but it still keeps you on your feet and keeps you guessing.

7.5/10
