Good but not perfect

Rating: 7/10 (18 August 2019)

First of all, If you're not a big fan of horror movies like me, you can watch the purge, it's not very scary nor gory, it is just supposed to be nerve-wracking. I'm not saying it's not but it could be better. I think if it was a little longer, the movie would've had the time to set the scene better and to introduce us more to the characters in order for us to connect with them, which is not the case here. The problem if you don't care for the characters in a movie in wich they suffer, is that you don't, and so it is kinda pointless. Furthermore, everything is happening too fast so you don't even have the time to fear the threat.
What a shame for such a good idea of concept which in itself is very interesting and scary, I would'nt like to live in a society which allows this kind of brutality even tough it's just one day in a year.
But finally, I couldn't say I hate this movie or that it is bad on all points because it did scare me a few times and it was dealing well with fear. There was no big mistake for me.
To put in a nutshell, it could have been a great movie if it lasted 2 hours or more.
