Good Idea but TERRIBLE film overall...

Rating: 4/10 (23 June 2013)

OK first, let's summarise the film in a couple of sentences: The film starts showing a very rich family (James, Lena, Max and Adeleine) having a good time, having dinner, talking, etc... Then the Purge begins and a couple of minutes later a homeless guy appears and cries out for help, saying that he won't hurt anyone, and of course Max lets him in. Next some random creepy masked guys appear asking for the guy otherwise they'll kill all of them. James then refuses, so the weirdos break in, and one of them manages to kill James. Then just when all of the family are about to get killed, their neighbours come in and help, but it turns out that they wanted to kill the family as well, but the homeless guy helps them and then the film just ends with a guy talking on the radio about different crimes that happened during the purge. The film has a interesting and exciting idea, but overall there isn't enough suspense, not enough action, etc... So I'll give The Purge a 4/10. Not a good film and not recommended.
