Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama

6.0 / 10

Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Paint-filled balloons = Grenades. Trees = Control towers. Sticks = Sub-machine guns. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warriors get a searing glimpse of humanity's dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world.

It’s about the psychology of war told from a kid’s perspective. No, wait it’s about a crazy loser kid and a useless pos altar boy. Holy shit the sophistication! - @Wednesday, October 30, 2013 1:30 PM

the blood is paint :P the kids arent supposed to be actually participating in a war, it's a make believe game that most kids that age would partake in. the "blood" you saw are paint grenades so when thrown *in the real world* they would splatter and spray like grenade shrapnel - @Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:19 AM

Actually, all weapons and firing was 100% real in this film (i would know I was in it) and we all had stunt and weapons training to teach us how to properly operate all the weapons used in the film. So really, YOU don't know how heavy a rifle is. - @Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:17 AM

great analysis :P You hit the nail right on the head with it. - @Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:15 AM

naw, hunger games is more based on the real fighting and violence (or at least the first one is) this one is more focused around the relations between the players of the "war" with some action scenes in between - @Wednesday, October 24, 2012 3:14 AM

Just saw this at Fantastic Fest in Austin yesterday. So far its been my favorite movie of the fest. I grew up in the 80s and this film was like a flashback to being 11 and playing in the woods with my cousins near my grandparents house. - @Monday, September 24, 2012 2:17 PM

OK, I confess I misunderstood you. But your logic doesn't work anyways. I can judge BR because I've seen it 3 times. I wasn't judging THIS movie, just amazing atheist comment. And neither were you. Saying it LOOKS like a cheap BR rip-off (it does) isn't the same as saying it IS a BR rip-off. We don't know that until we watch it. So both of us were on the same side I have no idea why you attacked me on the first place. Know your enemies before you attack someone, idiot. Bye. Tired of this. - @Wednesday, September 12, 2012 1:28 AM

steffpink

Those were my own words. You might find it hard to believe but thats actually how literate people write book and movie reviews. But don't worry I'll leave this discussion. You've just shown me your immaturity level by insulting me and I won't reduce myself that low. My apologize to the uploader I didn't mean to spam your post. Feel free to erase my messages if you want. I know I won't win against a youtube partner anyways. Goodbye all. Enjoy your movie. - @Tuesday, September 11, 2012 4:41 AM

steffpink

wow.. you fanboys won't leave me alone, right? lol ,I didn't took a paragraph from anywere. I love asian cinema and Kinji Fukasaku (RIP) is like a god to me. I can judge BR I've seen it three times. - @Monday, September 10, 2012 11:40 AM

I don't understand why a lot of people are hating on this movie. For your information, this whole movie is a metaphor of the way young adults feel toward each other. All of the rage that is inside of your head when you are 13-18 you keep in, and sometimes you just want to explode. this is exactly what this movie is about. Please understand, and watch this incredibly amazing movie. - @Saturday, September 8, 2012 11:14 PM

true. But well it conforts me a little that SOMEONE agrees with me. Thank you. - @Friday, September 7, 2012 12:09 PM

I agree with you, steffpink. But don't waste your time. He's an internet icon and fanboys will thumb him up no matter what he says. I like your stuff, man. But being known online doesn't mean you're ALWAYS right. That isn't BR's plot at all. About this movie, well asian cinema has their own fanboys too so I'm sorry everyone but this movie actually looks cool to me. I'm watching it. - @Sunday, August 26, 2012 3:30 PM

televised entertainment? I guess you never saw BR and only read a fake and misleading plot. BR is about controlling the rise of unemployment and rebelious youth. Adults DO NOT enjoy the law but they can't think of a better solution. I'm not judging THIS movie yet because I never judge something without seeing it first. I'd advice you to do the same. - @Saturday, August 25, 2012 9:26 PM
