Battle Royale

Battle Royale (2000)

A school trip goes awry when a group of Japanese students is taken to a remote island where they are pitted against one another in a game of survival that only one of them is allowed to win.

My Two Cents: They only negative here is the unavoidable comparison to the inferior Hunger Games trilogy, which came almost a decade later.* Unless you're too ADHD to read subtitles for two hours. That might also be a negative.

Drew's Rating: 7/10

*The first Hunger Games novel was published in 2008, with the film adaptation following in 2012.
