Battle Royale, the Director's Cut:

I was expecting it to be a bit more fucked up, since it was banned in the States for so long. As it stood, it was damned nuts. I was hoping for more exploding collar deaths, but then again, the exploding thing that's attached to you gimmick was done to death in the Condemned, truth be told.

It had some fucked moments: The intro video of the rules was completely insane. The mastermind's performance was insanely over the top. The scene that was used for the one girl's back story was incredibly dark.

It also had some incredible thematic elements. There was a definite anti-war theme. Who do you trust when everyone is trying to survive? Do you fight or do you give up? Do you play along or do you strike back?

I've heard it referred to as the movie/novel Hunger Games ripped off, and to an extent I guess we can thank Hunger Games for the boxed set finally seeing the U.S. But I seriously recommend it. 8/10.
