The Purge

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2018)

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadger
First off, this film could have been amazing. The plot and premise are very original and had a lot of potential. But sadly, the story is full of clichés such as stupid teenage kids, bad decisions, and clueless villains. If they had only made the film in a way that we could see multiple Purge stories, it would have been better. The ending is the probably the best part of the story.
The acting is okay at best. Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey perform the best. Max Burkholder and Adelaide Kane play two of the most annoying, stupid, and idiotic characters I have ever laid eyes on.
The film starts off very slow and continues to have slow pacing until the end.
The blood and gore aspect of the film is very good. This is one of the highest points about the film.
Pros: Very original story, the ending, good acting from Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, and a good use of blood and gore
Cons: Slow pacing, wasted potential with the story, annoying characters, Max Burkholder and Adelaide Kane and their terrible performance, and a lot of clichés
Overall Rating: 4.3
