'La Decima Vittima' - My thoughts

'Okay, now what's going on?'

That was the most common sentence I said during this movie. 'La Decima Vittima' (English name: 'The 10th Victim') is a rather unusual movie which is about a game of chase where people sign up to take part in and are assigned a target, they must then find their victim and kill them. 

The story goes with a man who ends up falling in love with his victim, rather than shooting her they start building up a romantic relationship between them. Although they confront each other many times throughout the movie to kill one another, they always fail to do so due to their interests in one another.

Since the original was in Italian, the movie did seem quite humorous, whether this was intentional or due to the films age (when we watched the trailer of the movie the class were laughing through most of it, the trailer we watched here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiJ6oghRqKY ) however the film overall wasn't that bad, and also did remind me of 'The Hunger Games' which is a book/movie about groups of people fighting one another for sport. Plus it also reminds me of gladiators during the Roman era where people fought one another for sport and some people became gladiators for fame and wealth, much like on 'The 10th Victim' where once they get their 10th victim they also game fame and wealth.
