2/10
inhuman and cynical
11 October 2003
I ordered this movie in HK because I thought it would be a nicely made action flick. The opening scene was quite promising, but then the gruesome story unfold... Soon reminded of Battle Royale (although I only know the plot of the movie), I was already not amused. But when a rape scene was casually staged as some kind of an 'initiation ritual' for the newly chosen winners of a fight-to-the-death, I was disgusted as I have never been before by any movie (and I even like splatter movies!). So although some action is not too bad - even the end fight has it's qualities - I totally regret having bought this movie. I recommend to anyone with some sense for ethics and decency to avoid this movie like the plague.
