Agreed, sensible guy. And with an argument all the young n00bs can relate too as well. :D

But that was the end. When he was dying, and had had enough.

And also he didn't respect her at all. He shot the phone to get her to shut up.

Heh, it's a great film, very entertaing, the third time I've seen it. Every time I always flinch when the pyscho girl takes a sickle to that guy's crotch. Again, and again, and again. *Shudders* :D

It's japanese, what do you expect? Realism? :P

Yeah, that chaffed me too.

Another annoying little thing was how Kiriyama's uzi 9mm seemed to be capable of holding about 500 bullets per clip.

But who cares.

My opinion is that the point of a film is to intrigue you and, above all, entertain you.
It did just that.

Therefore, I have no complaints.

It was a rawking film.

Still don't think it was much of a reason to make kids do a Battle Royale, but t'was fun!
