Cool, really cool, really cool!! Great parody of the Reality Show, shown in a great way. Everything is also so wonderfully exaggerated, just like in those reality shows, just perfect!
Even all those announcements and flashbacks and flashbacks and such, everything has been thought of. This is a recommendation for people who, like me, have something against reality shows. Although, for those people this film may seem a bit too much like one, because it does seem so similar.
Furthermore, I completely agree with Djelle's opinion above, I was also planning to write a somewhat longer piece, but then I would be saying so much twice 
!
I actually wanted to see this movie because it's a bit like Battle Royale, yes. A friend of mine saw it on TV the other day and said it was really cool and I bought it yesterday at a flea market. Three fifty, on DVD, bargain!!!
Yes, in short: a successful and critical satire!

Not bad but not as good as many other movies I hear mentioned. I couldn't really feel sympathy for any of the characters, maybe that's why. Give me The Hungry Games or Battle Royale 1 or 2.
3 stars, that's all it gets.
