Viewing Notes
Got home in time to catch this relatively obscure Miike movie from 2014 on DKU-TV. Probably missing some of the cultural context of the games themselves but it came across as a cross of BATTLE ROYALE and THE RUNNING MAN, but with a less simplistic outcome. I’m guessing this was based on a manga or anime but not entirely sure.
