Purge this from your list of movies to see...

Rating: 1/10 (10 June 2013)

This could have been a great movie. The concept is really good and original compared to most of the lousy movies out there these days. It started out by capturing your attention and explaining the basic premise of the "Annual Purge". The setup and hook was presented in such a way that you expect some action and a bit of social commentary. Quickly after "The Purge" begins, things start to unravel. The characters are weak, the story becomes incoherent, and the twist actually made me laugh out loud with everybody else in the theater. Like a bad "Rosemary's Baby". First of all, you have the young sexy daughter who is admittedly HOT. Her boyfriend decides that he'd rather kill her Dad than bang her. I think NOT... I would have banged her first. Next, you have her half-wit brother who decides to let some homeless guy into their house. Really??? I would have put his ass "outside" for that genius move. The Mother and Father seemed to be disengaged overly tolerant progressive Pro-Obama parents. Well, at least that is plausible. Heheheh! This entire family seems to wander throughout their own home looking for one another but unfamiliar with the layout. Oh, and did I mention the crazed Yuppie Frat House killer? LOL! He has some friends that are just as crazed, flat and ridiculously one dimensional. Together, they are able to defeat an elaborately fortified security system with nothing but a Toyota Pickup and some chain. WTF??? The story goes nowhere and falls apart completely by the end. I think the homeless guy ends up married to the mother when it's all over. I just wonder if the writing was this horrible from the beginning? (Green Light). Or, did some dumbass studio executive change it be implausible, silly and totally retarded? Either way, skip this one. Seriously, not even worth a video rental.
