There appears to be a tendency out there to respect sick and twisted Asian films, because their appreciation carries a certain symbol of hippness and modern art connoisseur (the success of the Tartan Extreme DVD collection would seem to corroborate this). And i admit it, i love many of these films. But Battle Royale is not one of them. I was bored after the first 5 killings…
