A most extraordinary, savage critique of Japanese society where young school students would have to battle for their lives by killing each other. Extremely dry Japanese sense of humour with exceedingly good acting specially by the villain of the story who has devised the game. I ended up seeing the film 5 times in order to understand the psychology of the individual players and the designer of the game and the whole film. That a large minority of Japanese are brought up to be natural killers who do not hesitate for one moment to kill totally innocent contemporaries for FUN of killing & not just the necessity of survival. And the nastiest killer is a girl & the saviour of the last few is a boy. It is a superb sociological film, I highly recommend it to the world.
