Film 287/365, Day 318/365 – Battle Royale

Could it really happen... probably not... but then you have to think about it.  This film is brilliant, it’s tense dark and whilst the story is fairly simple it is delivered expertly.  It is completely engaging from the start to the finish and well worth watching.  It’s going to raise some questions and probably get some split opinions but it is well worth it.

Synopsis:  With violence within schools getting out of control the Japanese government introduces some radical new laws.  The most unruly class in Japan is selected to compete in Battle Royale.  Each classmate is given a bag with a random weapon in and then forced to fight their classmates until only one remains or else they all die.
