Plot – Spoilers:
Battle Royale. Often imitated. Never equaled.

In a world where civil war is imminent, the adults send schoolkids to an uninhabited island to fight each other unto death. The kids that have been chosen this time seem like a bunch of friends out on a class trip. But once they’re forced into the game, simmering resentments take over, smashing their phony unity to smithereens.

The version here is the longer Director’s Cut.

10/3
good plot, but this is all there is to it

after 1hr20mins i stopped watching cause it gets boring to be honest
they clearly go quantity over quality with the killings… All night Long killings are better

I loved every second of this movie. Utterly ridiculous in the best possible way.
