Notes

My quick rating - 6,5/10. In a somewhat unique take on the kill or be killed scenario via "Battle Royale", this movie moreso focuses on the psychology of how those in a corporate environment will react. The individual characters do help somewhat in keeping the tension going, although I think they could have done a lot more in defining each more. For the most part, it was acted out well, including Dr. Cox (John C. McGinley), ok shameless "Scrubs" plug on that one. To see how they respond to the situation is of course where all the tension lies, and don't worry, it does get pretty brutal. I could not help but think of the experiment being much like "The Experiment" which was a criminally unheard of movie that was done just as well, only with prisoners and guards. And not to the death, and voluntary. Ok, I guess it really was nothing like this movie now that I typed that out, but the whole social experiment part and how it was acted had that feel. I think with a bit more polish and some better character development, this could've really stood out, but as it is, still a good watch.
