This movie kicks ass. Watch it. I'm watching it now with my brother, who went to take a shower, so I thought I'd use this intermission to tell you about it.

For those of you just too lazy to read, here's the CliffNotes version. In this film (it's Japanese and subbed, but not an anime), the Japanese government collapses. The youth and the older people clash. 800,000 students boycott school until the BR Act is signed. Each year, a class has to fight to the death. This is done to keep the youth in line.

The class (in this case, 42 9th graders) are sent to a 10km X 10km island. They have bomb collars- resistance = boom. They are randomly handed a weapon, which in reality ranges from the kickass (SPAS 12, Uzi) the OK (Colt 1911, .357 Magnum, Crossbow), the ancient (sickle, knife), the sucky (paper fan, trash can lid) to the useful (megaphone, Kevlar vest, GPS with everyone's location).

The objective is simple. Deathmatch. Last man standing wins. If in three days there is more than one person alive, everyone dies. Everything is legal. Tampering with your bomb collar causes detonation.

It is a foriegn, so don't expect it at your local Blockbuster. I recommend you borrow it from a friend. *cough cough w---z cough*

I'll post more later.
