I wish it was a pure slasher movie

Rating: Null/10 (22 October 2013)

This tells the night of a rich suburban family, when all crime is legalised for twelve hours.
"The Purge" may have an interesting idea, but I am afraid the whole film is quite poorly executed. The plot really annoys me, as things happen in a contrived manner. For example, how could the kid have the security code? Why would a group of people target one homeless man, when there are may around? And in times of such desperation, one must fight for survival. Having a battle of conscience is not going to help.
In addition, people are clearly abusing The Purge, so how could the economy and the harmony of the remaining citizens not be hurt by it. The plot is so unbelievably contrived at the end, it has lost all its credibility. Though it is thrilling and exciting, I think it is better positioned as a slasher movie without the subplot of battle of conscience.
