Miss fire

Rating: 5/10 (30 June 2014)

I knew the concept of the Purge and it sounded quite interesting so my boyfriend and I decided to watch it. It started quite bleak and, unfortunately, the feeling stayed throughout. How did a boy who designed a camera robot be ignorant enough to allow a complete stranger into their home? You would think that by now the parents educated him of the dangers since the expensive security system isn't enough of a hint. The character "Henry" (Zoe's shady boyfriend) was utterly pointless. My bf didn't like it and felt that they could have done so much with the idea i.e. show what happens outside, actually participate, explain why they do it. Its pretty much like the Hunger Games but at least the HG justifies itself. Honestly I've written hw with better plot than that and Im a lazy teen. Overall, I gave it 5 stars because it gave me and my bf something to laugh at and make satirical comments about. I didn't finish watching it and kinda want to know what happens to them although I can already predict what.
