The Purge

The Purge
Luckily, those in cold climates are protected from home invasion by thin layers of clear plastic film insulating their windows.
Regrettably, the family in this thriller lives in sunny California.
One day of the year the new leaders of the US government make it legal to kill anyone you wish, so long as it happens within a 12-hour period.
While it's characteristically the homeless who are purged, this year a home security salesman James (Ethan Hawke), his wife (Lena Headey) and two kids, Zoey (Adelaide Kane) and Charlie (Max Burkholder), are the target of a gang of affluent attackers.
When Charlie provides shelter for an injured stranger (Edwin Hodge), their high-tech home can't protect them from the human animal.
Spoiling its philosophical merits with an unfocused story and clichéd gunfights, The Purge never reaches its full potential.
What's more, family members are the most likely to want to kill you.
