A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred game to the death, until one survives -- or they all die.

However, as the numbers dwindle is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?
Leave your thoughts about Battle Royale.
| VarietyRobert KoehlerDeparting from two decades' worth of domestic and personal dramas and returning to his roots as Japan's maestro of mayhem, Kinji Fukasaku has delivered a brutal punch to the collective solar plexus with one of his most outrageous and timely films. |
| ESplatterLucius GoreA disturbing film to say the least, and definitely one that could never have been made in the United States. |
| What CultureShaun MunroIt gets no points for subtlety, but this confronting, devastating, hilarious and extremely fun film is a masterpiece all in its own right. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonBattle Royale's dystopia reflects a hyper-tech Japan still deeply concerned with social cohesion and the value-gaps between the generations. It's the disturbingly dark social frame, not its bloody canvas, that makes this a battle worth watching. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzWhat it does have is plenty of splatter, noise and energy. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonYou would never suspect that a 70-year-old man made this film: it positively hums with youthful lust and rage. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouRumsey TaylorUltimately Battle Royale falls attempting to stand on its politics alone. Its redeeming triumph is that it is immensely entertaining - either as a teenage film or hefty slice of exploitation. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawFukasaku's film maybe can't maintain the sheer exhilarating rush of its first thirty minutes, but it's an outstanding work nevertheless. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerSharply written, bloody, and darkly funny, this is a cut above your usual exploitation fare. |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayBATTLE ROYALE is a film that should not be easily ignored, and will not be easily forgotten...the faces of those kids are likely to linger long after the credits stop. |
