Plain and simple amazing!

When you hear about this movie, one thing sticks in your head. It's the concept of having a purge day (or a purge night if you will) every year. I mean, I am no fan, but it's some brilliant thinking right there on the part of the script writer. As an idea, it kind of immediately puts you in the center of the movie, starting to think what you would do in such a case.
It also immediately sets the scene for the entire movie in an unparalleled way. I mean, you start of a sci-fi thriller with houses on lock down and a bunch of psychopaths roaming the streets with guns, with no police or law enforcement stopping them. That's the recipe for success right there.
I loved the first one. Both Lena Headey and Ethan Hawke were amazing I think and the plot was also really interesting. Will not spoil anything, but it seems that the movie had the best possible ending. Overall, the concept will challenge the way we think about our civilized society. I mean, could you possibly think what would happen if this was also applied in real life? I am afraid to think. This movie kept me at the edge of my seat for the entire duration and this is something that I haven't said for a similar movie for quite some time.
