One of the film's main selling points (if you can call it that) is the fact that Masanobu Ando aka Battle Royale's Kiriyama stars in it, which should attract fans of the actor and/or BR. Ando himself is obviously in on the joke, which makes Tokyo Eleven (and Ando) all the more endearing in my eyes.
No, this isn't exactly Tarkovsky, but then it isn't meant to be. It's simply a fun movie to watch, preferably in the company of friends and ailed by plenty of booze.
It's neither funny nor gory, neither suspenseful nor witty. So at least you could expect it to be stylish coming from the guy who did "Uzumaki", right? No. Its look is utterly cheap. The digital technology makes the sets look like remains from "Battlefield Earth" and the camera tricks (zooms, blood on the lens etc.) are both childish and annoying. I don't get how Higuchinsky could have done this. What did he try to do? Low-Budget-Trash? Some sort of guerilla film making? Whatever he tried, the result is a disaster. If you loved "Uzumaki" like I did, avoid this film at all cost or the name Higuchinsky will fall a lot in your esteem. It's a bore-fest that looks like it's shot by an amateur. Or in short: Crap!
Rating: 1/10
If you are looking for good spoof films, I recommend Spaceballs (1987) and Kung Pow (2002). Please stay away from 'Tokyo 10+01'.
Mao points: 2/10
It has a lame story, mostly pretty bad actors, and bas special effects. It was filmed poorly and its whole gun pointing at camera things wasn't that cool.
It of course is a spoof of Battle Royale. Which is a good movie and you can tell it is joking on BR from the beginning. A bunch of criminals wake up in a wear house and are forced to play a game to win 300 million yen and a clean slate. But they quickly learn that only one of them will make it out alive.
It is just a joke. That is what it is. If you take it that way, it is a laugh out loud funny.
Basically a group of people are forced into playing a deadly game. They have to be the first to reach a mansion where a lot of money awaits the winner. The catch is that a group of machine gun carrying thugs get to chase after them and to make sure that they don't get that far. That's the best summary I can give without spoiling anything about the movie.
The characters are really interesting and the movie was made to look as unrealistic as possible, but that's what makes the whole thing so funny. Some things Battle Royale fans would get a kick out of are the many traits they take from the movie like a girl on a video screen explaining the rules and the poison filled bracelets the contestants wear. They even admit straight out in the beginning of the movie that they stole all of the ideas.
But the thing I loved the most was Masanobu Ando the actor who played Kazuo Kiriyama! is in the movie once again as the crazed player looking to win and yes, he gets to kill people.
So in my opinion Tokyo 10+01 makes a lovely addition to your movie collection.

This is most clear after he is pushed off the roof, the party blower is completely intact and is long but when he catches up with Snake and Coco it is replaced by a small broken one indicating it had been damaged from the fall.
