Turned if off after 45 Minutes! DISASTER, PATHETIC, STUPID

Rating: 1/10 (20 September 2013)

WHAT A STUPID FILM! AND WHAT A WASTE! This film really had me going at the beginning. The idea of a Purge (12 hours of lawlessness) is great and I was willing to look past the reality flaws of having such a thing. I pictured nationwide mayhem and the potential for some great scenes. But instead they bunkered down in a house. I got a bit frustrated but thought "Maybe it will be exciting anyway, or they might hit the road" But no the whole movie in the house!! This is where it began to go south. Shortly after the purge began the son let a homeless stranger in by disarming the security. I thought OK well a bit of compassion is OK even if its dumb. But the thing that broke the camels back and sent me into a fit of rage was next. A group of "purgers" were hunting this man and came to the front of the house and told the family they want there target back or they will break into the house. LOGICLLY you would think that the whole family would of worked together to get the man back outside to avoid this situation, also considering how blasé the adults were about the purge they wouldn't care and just send him out. BUT the teenage kid decides to let the guy hide and shows him a secret hiding spot. This was where I lost it with this movie. So a kid decides he is going to hide a stranger and have his whole family murdered for that stranger???? What nonsense. After this I knew this movie was just illogical and painfully written. I turned it off 10 minutes after when the purgers outside turned the power off. BUT WAIT??? Didn't they want the guy out? but they make it more difficult for the family to find him by cutting the power off? Don't WATCH THIS TRUST ME!!!! This movie has put me in a awful mood all day. Never has a movie ticked me off so much. I had such high promise for this movie. And the producer has gone and mad a new concept in a movie into a disaster. There is nothing to be gained in this movie it is an absolute bust. The budget was $3,000,000. Which is a tiny budget for a movie. To be honest I think this movie was made to make money it just doesn't make sense any other way. Goodbye I am going to go and destroy all the walls in my house to release this rage.
