hey producers, purge yourselves

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2013)

After the success of Sinister with Ethan Hawke and the major success of Games Of Thrones with Lena Headey Hollywood had to find a way to make money out of both. Well here's the result, the weak The Purge.
The story is very weak and even Ethan or Lena could convince me. In fact, the only one who convinced me was Rhys Wakefield as the polite leader. The story itself takes place in the future even as none of the future is shown. So that was already a big disappointment. Not only that, the story itself was rather weak and some things were so predictable that you can see clearly that this was made on the success of both leading thespians.
I must say that there are some brutal moments but if you would like to see some creepy home invading flicks go watch The Strangers (2008), remember the masks. Or go see the classic A Clockwork Orange (1971) for the home invasion or if you want it brute see, A L'intérieur (2007).
It do has a few good moments but Hollywood had to purge themselves before cashing in on weak projects, be ashamed producers!
