Son of a!!!

Rating: 2/10 (9 October 2013)

Well, the premise was extremely interesting. "For one night, murder is decriminalized." The only thing worse about this movie is that if another director (you know, a good one) wanted to take a shot at this original idea, he would be the copycat to this garbage of a film. Even before I saw it I knew it would be crap when you can clearly see in the trailer that the entire movie takes its turn when the boy lets the stranger in his home. If the movie were, lets say, about the actual purge, and the government conspiracy to eradicate the poor population( which was mentioned in the film) then you could consider this a pretty good movie. But when you introduce a great plot and end up copying the Panic Room, don't be surprised when the general population of movie- goers hate your film. The purgers enter the home with guns then all of a sudden their guns disappear and you have guys tackling Ethan Hawke, then shooting after a tackle attempt. Who tackles and shoots later. That's like a cop shooting mace into the eyes of a gun wielding suspect. Man, I could go on forever.
