Hmm

Rating: 3/10 (23 June 2013)

I was SO excited for this movie, the concept was and still is a great idea. I did like it but I just hope they adapt this idea into much more.
I wish more was viewed in the film as it was short and much more could have been added, like other peoples ways of dealing with the Purge instead of one families. And also very unrealistic when dealing with the man who the son let into the house. I wouldn't risk my families life to save a stranger who could have easily killed any of the family and I wouldn't allow a family to risk their lives for me.
I probably would have liked the movie much more if the unrealistic twist with the neighbours happened. Sure, we all hate our neighbours from time to time but really hating them to the extent of risking your lives just so YOU can kill them? I don't think so.
The ending was the part that really ruined it for me. It was such an anti-climax, it felt a bit rushed at the end to finish which was weird considering the movie was quite short, so it could not have been that.
I would recommend this film, but just don't hold high hopes for it. The ideas surrounding the Purge are great but they just weren't shown enough. It hid behind the families struggles with the Purge, more could have been done.
