Interesting idea, terrible movie

Rating: 4/10 (14 July 2014)

This is one of those movies that you don't hear too many good things about, but the concept makes you want to see it for yourself. The Purge is a very insular movie that falls apart when you question just how it could work. Honestly, it could never work, but the idea was interesting enough for me look passed the plot holes. I was more worried about watching an entertaining movie with an interesting concept. Sadly though, the movie itself was sub par at best. From the very beginning, the movie never really tried to be more than a concept. From the obvious plot set-ups, plot holes, cliché scenes and over all stupidity completely destroyed what could have been a good concept film. This movie truly is as bad as everyone says it is.
