I Wish We Could Purge This Stinker

Rating: 1/10 (14 August 2014)

I just don't see what the point of this mess was. It was much the same as any family-under-attack flick I've ever seen, with the usual surprises and turnabouts and so on. The lack of police and other protection simply codifies what's in all those other movies. Really, what's the difference between ineffective cops and absent cops?
The family acts stupidly at every opportunity, simply to drive the plot along. The attackers are the usual maniacs. There's nothing new here.
And, really, how does this Purge nonsense work? How can The Purge even exist? Are the victimized classes really going to put up with being victimized every year? And who's still running the electric company while everyone's out shooting and hacking away at each other? Aren't people mad at the electric company?
This film makes no sense at all. Bleagh.
