Definitely worth a watch!!!

Rating: 8/10 (31 March 2012)

I knew nothing about this film until a few days before its release and when I heard it was going to be like Battle Royale I instantly looked into it. Discovering that the film was to be a 12A I was rather shocked and put off by the fact that a film like this could be rated that low, but nevertheless was still determined to watch it.
I must say that I'm glad that I did. The acting throughout the film is superb! The emotion of the characters really gives different parts of the film distinctive moods that entices you into the film. It gets you thinking, which is always a good thing, who's going to die next and what you'd do in their situation. Although I'd say it was pretty predictable towards the end, this is still a film definitely worth every penny!
I was very disappointed to hear that the bloody bits had been edited to reduce the rating (obviously for money purposes) as I am a blood and gore fan I have to say, but the story and acting indubitably makes up for this.
I wouldn't have really thought this to have been a family film before I watched it, but it is one that the whole family will definitely enjoy! Happy Hunger games!
