The Purge


One night a year all crime is legal! Because of this, unemployment is apparently down to under 1% and violence is down tenfold. Sure. Anyway, if you saw a preview for this movie and were interested, then you will probably love the movie. If you thought it looked stupid, you won't. I fell in the former category. This movie was fucked up. Seriously. And it wasn't particularly well-written. But, it had a somewhat unique premise and extreme violence. Sometimes that's all I need. Ethan Hawke, ironically, makes millions selling home security specifically designed to safeguard families from being murdered in The Purge, only to have his house broken into. The rest of the movie takes place in and around his house. His family suffers, etc. Skip it.
