The Purge

"Just remember all the good the purge does."

Rating: 2.25 out of 4

There was a lot going on in this movie, but at the same time, absolutely nothing at all.  The concept definitely intrigued me, but they tried too hard to make me like the actual movie.  One day of every year, all crime is legal for twenty-four hours, by government decree, and it’s every man for himself.  Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey gave decent performances, but nothing overly spectacular.  My favorite actor was by far Rhys Wakefield; he was convincing and very captivating in his short screen time.  There were a few too many twists in the plot for my liking, a few of them could have been cut out for a better movie.  There’s not much here you’d be missing by missing The Purge.

Rating: Rent It
