Battle Royale II: Requiem

It's three years after the events of the original Battle Royale, and Shuya Nanahara is now an internationally-known terrorist determined to bring down the government. His terrorist group, Wild Seven, stages an attack that levels several buildings in Tokyo on Christmas Day, killing 8000 people. In order for the government to study the benefits of "teamwork", the new students work in pairs, with their collars electronically linked so that if one of them is killed, the other dies as well. They must kill Nanahara in three days - or die.
Sadly, only a shadow of the original movie. While the twin linked collar idea seemed interesting on paper, it didn't have the cold psychological friend on friend violence that we all loved in the first. Not to mention, [spoiler]they rapidly got the collars off anyway. So there went any hope of more "danger zone" deaths as well. [/spoiler]They only had a few gimmicks, and they ditched them all for no good reason.
Which led to it mostly being hail upon hail of gunshots. And not entertaining hails, just repetitive and indistinct hails where you can't really tell who is even shooting what. Quite a disappointing effort overall. Don't even get me started on the other stuff that was shoehorned in poorly.
