This is a horror movie, not only about violence, bloodiness and betrayal, but also about faith.
A high school class which has forty students are selected government and shipped to a deserted island where they get random weapons and forced to fight to the death. There only one survivor can get back his or her freedom and leave the island.
This is a heart-stopping action film which teaches us a worthy lesson of teamwork and determination, but wrapping them up in a provocative, shockingly violent package. It’s surprise to watch the high school students form alliances and turn on each other and drop off one by one for surviving. The reality is cruel for everyone.
As usual, Fukasaku directs Battle Royale with force and conviction, it shouldn't be easily ignored, and also will not be easy to forget. The faces of those kids will linger long in your mind after the movie ends.
