It's great. It'll make you go "eww" occasionally, but being such an entertaining mindfuck, that won't matter.

Battle Royale 2 was certainly not as good as its predecessor, but fucked-upness points to the younger Fukasaku for having the Wild Seven blow up a pair of twin towers in the beginning and having Shuya be all about Afghanistan.
But hey... how about the live-action Cutie Honey movie?? Is pretty awesome. And what about Jisatsu Saakuru (Suicide Club)? It's a beautiful, damaged film that touches on a lot of issues of identity in Japanese society. I think of it as a kind of Alice in Wonderland meets Fight Club... only lots of children kill themselves. And what about 20 30 40? And Tokyo Story? And Tampopo? Watching Tampopo makes me salivate ramen broth.

'Suicide club' didn't do much for me, the plot is pretty thin, the violence is over the top, so I really didn't like it...It was recomended to me by someone who told me that I would like it because I liked 'Battle Royale', boy was he wrong...I'll be honest, outside of 'Dolls', 'Zatoichi', old shaolin films & Donnie Yen movies, I'm pretty biased for the Hong Kong triad shoot em ups...Any Old Woo, (especially 'A better tomorrow 1 & 2), or almost any movie where Chow Yun Fat shoots somebody in cold blood, I like...
georgemandingo:
...and 'last life in the universe', that was very good too...

Or, for that matter, watching Riki Takeuchi guzzle painkillers like they were green tea.

A day in the life of a Tokyo Metropolitan Railroad janitor, p'raps?
