Anyone else see this controversial movie from Japan? The plot is as follow while trying to keep spoilers to a minium:
Set in the near future, Juvenile delinquency has skyrocketed beyond control. So the government passes the Millennium Educational Reform Act, AKA the BR Act.
Every year, a random ninth grade is selected. They are taken to an island, fitted with collars that will explode when the wearer enter a danger zone or if the battle royale isn't concluded after 3 days. The students are issued random weapons and told to kill each other until only one remains.
Interesting movie, Japanese thrillers certainly seem more powerful than most western stuff.
