Battle Royale (バトル・ロワイアル) was a movie based on a novel that introduced me to Tatsuya Fujiwara (he's one of my favorite Japanese actors). It also stars Aki Maeda, Masanobu Ando, and Chiaki Kuriyama. It's violent and it's fictitious. It's basically about a program developed by the Japanese government in order to keep the rebelling younger generation in line. The program consists of dropping a class of students on an island and they're all supposed to kill each other within a time limit, but if that doesn't happen everyone dies. So yes, when I said it's violent, it's violent. It's also bloody and gory and I loved it. Also, the most evil of the males is rather cute. :)
There's also a Battle Royale II and that one's not bad, but could be better. The movie's 112 minutes long or so.
