West vs East

Rating: 1/10 (8 September 2012)

If a slightly faster pace action movie with lots of soggy romance to appease both parties on a date is your aim, then this is just fine.
That being said, not to be a wet blanket but did anyone check the copyright for this story idea? If anyone watches Eastern movies or reads Manga they will know that in 1999 a book titled 'Battle Royale' was written with the exact same theme and later adapted into two Manga comics and movies(2000 and 2003{Battle Royale: Requiem} respectively.
In Battle Royale students are kidnapped at different times to be used in a 'military' research activity called The Program where they must fight to the death on an isolated island. In here the stakes are higher(i.e., metal tracking collars with explosives that will kill any insurgents and are all set to detonate simultaneously if no one is killed in a 24 hour period).
Personally, Hunger Games was a cheap knock-off of the Battle Royale series sanitized to withing an inch of it's politically incorrect life and a complete waste of my time and brain cells.
