The Purge

Unique story, action/horror/suspense movie enjoyable watch.

Just another home invasion thriller, this one particularly boring.

So incredibly slow moving and boring. The premise is interesting, which is why I checked it out. Takes forever for things to actually happen. This didn't build the suspense - just irritated the hell out of me. I kept asking myself why I was bothering to continue. I made it to the end - what a complete waste of time.

This movie is pure awful. A movie about killing for one night seriously.

Really plain boring not worth watching at all. The only reason why I am rating it 2/5 is because the daughter was hot

This movie is the best one in the series, hands down

The Purge is a classic for a good reason as its humble beginnings were actually a great service to this film. Even though the Purge is a nationwide event, the film mostly takes place in the home of a traditional American family, and the horrors that they faced there that night. The entire movie made for a stressful experience, as the horrors of humanity and politics are put on display in a very drastic way. The experience feels intimate and well-done as you don’t know who is going to live and who is going to die, who is good and who is bad, and what will happen next. None of this film felt predictable or too cheesy, it had a few comedic moments I’d say, but other than that it was just a cool movie.

I personally quite enjoyed this and is something I've only seen similar to the strangers. The purge is executed perfectly with great performances.

I can't tell whether this is a good or bad idea. I mean in theory that's a interesting idea but also it could go the way of if you do tons of crime in one day won't that just make things worse in the future as it leads to more negative feelings and actions building up every time? Maybe it needs more refinement. But what I can tell you is the way this film executes it and the finished product here is terrible. The cinematography is the crowning acheivement. It's really bad. Literally 65% of this 85 minute runtime is so dark you can barely see it. And when you can it's super basic stuff. The editing is terrible. The whole plot line of the guys breaking in feels like it leads to nothing kind of. The neighbors coming in at the end feels hammed in and during action scenes it's edited like a Bourne movie and its so dark you can barely see things so I literally can't tell what the heck is going on until the dust settles. And on top of that the family is always divided up too s it gets really jumpy. The music isn't good either. It's super generic suspense stuff and just becomes annoying as it plays constantly as things progress. The acting is suprisngly terrible as well. The kids are annoying, the purge guy is acting like he's in the Happening, the dialouge isn't good, and everyone makes dumb choices. Hawke is alright and probably the best thing here for what it's worth. And this all elads ot really bad pacing. It becomes a slog to sit through this and man I swear it feels like 2 hours. Skip This. The marketing for this was brilliant but the end product is as misleading as Kangaroo Jack.

Part horror part actio. Definitely worth the watch.
