Rather disappointing - felt it could have been much better. Camera work is, on occasion, the type that gives you a headache and you can't see what's happening.
Brilliant

A nice easy and well shot film to watch....but is this not just "Battle Royale" (which you must see!) without the subtitles and sprinkling of Hollywood glitz!?!
