Battle Royale - 8/10

This is one of those movies I should have seen a long time ago. It starts a bit silly, and the overacting of the school children is laughable in early parts, but it's an exciting movie. I was always hesitant to watch because of the nature of the violence, but it wasn't as graphic as its reputation suggests (though still quite graphic). Maybe I need to rewatch certain parts of the movie, but one thing that stands out is the teacher, Kitano, basically instrumenting the whole affair because he was tired of snotty kids mistreating him.

Anyway, good movie overall.
