"23.2. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Hienosti säilyttää Battle Royale vieläkin paukkunsa, vaikka aika monta kertaa on nähty silloin joskus. Satiirina hauska, melodraamana toimiva ja väkivaltaviihteenä mahtava. Kaikki (muutkin) puolet huomioiden ihastuttavan absurdi ja varmasti tulee seuraavan kerran katseltua vähän lyhyemmällä tauolla, kuin sen karkealla arviolla 18 vuotta, mikä edelsi. Takeshi Kitano on kova ja tämän traagisen välinpitämättömäksi, mutta kumman inhimmilliseksi lopu"
