Battle Royale Ratings & Reviews
GrimeFiVideo

Overall a fun and gritty watch; but a little empty when it comes to emotional depth.

Excellent movie

Daniel Gustavsson

Great movie, with a great feel throughout.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Stylistically it's a beauty, with khaki-uniformed waifs fighting for their lives to a crashing classical score.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Awful deaths (and hysterical reactions to them) punctuate declarations of love and friendship, revelations of treachery and heavily armed expressions of angst.
Village Voice
Eric Hynes
It may suit a certain worldview, but Battle Royale's cynicism is still a form fantasy-a balm as well as a bomb.
The Hollywood Reporter
Maggie Lee
3D conversion of a classic teen massacre thriller raises the gore level.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
Maybe Battle Royale's ultimate punchline is its inexplicable ability to fool some people into taking it seriously.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
Fukasaku's set pieces are dynamic, composed and edited with a neatness that is missing from the shaky-camera esthetic of the movie's successor, 'The Hunger Games.'
IGN DVD
R.L. Shaffer
Battle Royale is a masterpiece of mayhem, violence and unfettered teen melodrama.
Boston Phoenix
Alexandra Cavallo
Battle Royale is The Hunger Games not diluted for young audiences.
Projection Booth
Rob Humanick
Pitched with the insatiable verve of a TV game show and the vacant regret of a Grand Theft Auto videogame.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Gloriously sick and twisted. A masterpiece.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
Disturbing, gory, shocking, and very original.
ESplatter
Lucius Gore
A disturbing film to say the least, and definitely one that could never have been made in the United States.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Departing 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.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
A modern classic about the folly of violence.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
What it does have is plenty of splatter, noise and energy.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
Une oeuvre faisant l'objet d'un vritable culte que l'on imagine mal voir sortir d'un studio d'Hollywood.
