Comparing that to Battle Royal was the main thing that kept me from enjoying the movie. It wasn't a bad movie or anything but when you compare it to Battle Royal, it's definitely inferior.
Not at all a bad movie though. It still kept me entertained half the time.
Yeah the camera work during the action sequences was fucking batshit retarded. There's a fine line between trying to add some shaky camera for added effect, and then there's giving your audience vertigo/seizures. This one was very close to the latter. Half the time I couldn't even tell what was going on during those particular takes.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
