I haven't seen The Hunger Games movie or read the book, but apparently this Japanese movie is where the inspiration came from. Japanese youth are not treating adults with respect, so the government picks one high school class at random to be placed on an island with nothing other than a duffle bag full of random gear. You are fitted with a collar that has gps, and you have three days to stay alive....only one winner will survive....it's a fight to the death ! ( or a Battle Royale if you will...) Blood and violence take the lead in the film, but it is actually quite compelling and entertaining to see who can survive. Now I feel I must watch The Hunger Games for comparison
