Kleeberg’s review:
This movie should be shown to film classes on how NOT to make a movie. Terrible camera work, a cheesy story, and fight scenes that were absolutely so blurred and cut up that you couldn't tell what the hell was going on. What a piece of garbage.
Interesting. On another message board, it sounded like a poor mans version of Battle Royale. Don't know how much of that is true?
Looks even more like it on a trailer watch. Hmmmmmmmmm.
I love Battle Royale. It is nearly the same premise, but the execution is absolutely terrible. The sense of dread and impending doom that you feel for characters in Battle Royale is never felt here, and at times, it's like the characters are just out for a stroll in the park.
Thanks for that. Saved me a watch there. I hate it when films rip off others to create a far inferior version on the pretext that we would understand the originals because they aren't Hollywood made.
*wouldn't. Guess you can't edit comments.
