It's been a while since I saw "Super Heroic Trio" that made me numb and squirm (well I saw it when I was only 10 or 11) and this movie is another chance that made me feel that way, well a little lesser than the previous one. At first I thought the storyline and plot of Battle Royale was cheap, unconvincing and simply a product of bad casting, but I sit back, relaxed and watch the movie and attempt for a review myself. It turned pretty cool! I never thought this movie was full of story, misery, coolness and chilling creativeness. Imagine your country rankled by cruel, ironclad law passed forth for disciplinary cause. The Japanese actors were surreal their acting, well sometimes I judge it myself a little too rancid, but they've pulled of well the play and their role budge in coolly. This is the second time I saw Tatsuya Fujiwara on screen and I was even surprised that the strong, fierce, independent girl named Takako Chigusa was actually Chiaki Kuriyama, whom I first saw in Quentin's renowned Kill Bill. The dimension of each characters were fine, streamlined shortly, and even though their characters in the story were only short-lived I must say they've effectively strut their character well on screen. They've conveyed well the situation if one is faced with eminent dilemma that will surely shock your senses and spirit. They were just high school students, here comes the vindictive law enforcing strictly its mechanics and system, and they have no choice but to fight for their lives. One thing or another, they've really portrayed well their reactions though still stormed by their childhood memories and struggles. I loved the drama and action. Speaking of action it was, how do I put it, innocently superb! For their young age role they know how to wield convincingly weapons given to them, and it's a plus point for this movie on how they've successfully pulled that stunt. The message was fine, live and move forward, all in all they've wrapped everything brilliantly.
