Palomera and Predictable

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2013)

Every psyco's dream. To be free of doing whatever he or she wants to do (criminaly spoken) without punishment included, at least once a year, while the 12-hours of The Purge last. The history is located in some point of the future of America, when crime is at an all-time low, unemployment is at 1%, yes, an utopia, because the new founding fathers won some kind of negotiation with the citizens, in order to implement an apparent peace, "You can behave all the year and we give you The Purge, for 12 hours", a massive catharsis.
Then meet the Sandins, a dream family with common problems, James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) is a salesman of security systems that face their maximum test during the purge, his wife Mary (Lena Headey) who carries with the puberty of their two sons, Zoey (who gives some fan service like the anime characters) and Charlie. They're appreciated and admired by the neighbors or at least is what they think.
Contrary to the peaceful purges of past years this one will represent a new experience for the Sandins because not all the members of the family are agree with this "celebration". They will face it as any other poor family who hasn't the resources they have to defend themselves.
Don't expect good performances, instead you'll have a lot of adrenaline and great ideas for halloween costumes.
Good to past the time.
