Haven't seen it so please go easy on me but it sounds very similar.
Having seen both, yes. It is a lot like War of the Buttons. I'd even say it's closer to WOTB than it is to Lord of the Flies.They're both pretty good, by the way, though I think Buttons has the edge.
Thanks,will def check it out as i always thought WOTB was a great but under rated movie,always found LOTF depressing.
Come to think of it, the 'game' nature of the story and the elimination by grenades is strongly similar to Bugsy Malone and it's 'death by custard' thing.
Damn, I was wracking my brain trying to remember that name. Thanks man!
