What a Garbage!

Rating: 1/10 (29 November 2013)

In 2022, the United States of America celebrates once a year "The Purge", a 12-hour period when any crime is allowed including murder. The result is a economical growth and society free of homeless, sick and unproductive persons.
James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) is a successful salesman that sells security systems for the houses. He lives with his wife Mary (Lena Headey) and his teenage son Charlie (Max Burkholder) and daughter Zoey (Adelaide Kane) in a fancy house in the suburb. During the purge, James seals his house and plans to watch a movie with his family. However, Charlie sees a stranger (Edwin Hodge) fleeing from a group that is hunting him down and he disarms the security device and lets the man in. But the leader (Rhys Wakefield) of the group gives an ultimatum to James: if he does not deliver the man to the group, they would kill the whole family. Now James has to find where the man is hidden and decide his fate.
"The Purge" is a stupid movie with an absurd storyline that may be reasonable for American people that lives in a country frequently in war and with a powerful armament industry and armed citizens. But it is hard to swallow the explanation of the purge in most of the countries since the story is totally unbelievable. How could a society live without regret and rage on the day after of such savagery? Jealousy would become grieve, hatred, need of revenge on the next day no matter the laws. In addition, in a society living this way, the moron Charlie could never have the codes of the security system. In the end, this movie is a senseless garbage. My vote is one (awful).
