- Halim Mellick5 augustus 2025Absolute masterpiece. I can really see where the likes of Squid Game, The Hunger Games, Kill Bill and even games like PubG and Fortnight got their inspiration. This movie influenced culture more than we realise and I consider it a must watch for any fans of the above mentioned. Obviously influenced by Japan's history, they have been making dystopias long before us
- Zokkiie10 april 2026Put this on late at night thinking I’d half-watch it and ended up glued to the screen. It’s scrappy, a bit unhinged, and somehow pulls off being both grim and strangely heartfelt at the same time. You can feel the rough edges, but they give it personality instead of dragging it down. It swings big, sometimes misses, but when it hits, it really lands. Not something I’d throw on casually again, but I’m glad I watched it.
- Jakeys28 maart 2026I've been a BR game genre fan since Survivor GameZ, but I'd never gotten around to watching the movie that inspired them. The movie met my lofty expectations, it was captivating throughout, though aspects of the ending were a little confusing. Maybe just down to subtitles? In any event, it was really good and it has proven itself to be an inspiration for other filmmakers.
