It was.. An interesting experience..

Rating: 2/10 (22 June 2013)

This movie made me want to write a review. Not in a good way really. Basically this movie is about a dystopian future where one day a year for twelve hours, all crime is legal. Such as murder. They emphasise a lot on the murder part. Anyway the main character James or something, sells home alarm protection systems. And basically they are rich.He has wife and two children.. Anyway. On the evening of the purge, they lock down (turn on the system) and watch the news and do normal stuff. Some black guy outside starts screaming for help, and the son lets him in. Oh, there is also this whole thing with their daughters boyfriend, but I don't really get it, so I won't spoil it.. Anyway, some white rich kids with these really hilarious masks, for some reason they reminded me of Joan Rivers.. Anyway! They appear at their doorstep and ask for the black guy, because.. Well, they basically want to kill him, and probably eat him afterward. And then say that they can get into the house and will kill all of them if they don't deliver him.. They also cut the power for no apparent reason. Meanwhile inside the house, they all start freaking out, probably because it's dark and boyfriend gets shot, and the black guy gets away. The parents start searching for him and the son kid uses his extremely disturbing robot baby-born to guide him to his "secret hiding place". He gets there and everyone's happy! Expect his parents and the River people. But then his sister, who is probably the most annoying person ever, is going around crying about her boyfriend and decides to hide in her brothers secret place, which is apparently not so secret anymore. Dad appears black dude threatens to kill annoying daughter (I was rooting for her to die). Then mum appears from behind and dad says "SHOOT HIM", which of course alerts Mr. Black man, but he still gets shot. Annoying girl hits her head or something and is unconscious. They tie him up, he struggles of course, mum hurts him with a letter knife, and son just stands there with a flash light. Suddenly their morals change and they decide to fight! Meanwhile outside the "equipment has arrived, okay, I wasn't paying attention to this part, but it looked like to me they attached some chains to the doors and windows and then to a car and drove ripping the things off them.. But I'm not entirely sure. So, they get in, weird fighting.. Dad just stabbed in the end, mum gets tickled and nearly murdered but is saved by their creepy neighbours.. Then it turns out creepy neighbours want to kill them and they start talking about America and the fathers or something.. Then black dude comes and saves them.. That's basically it..
My opinion is that it was too long before they got in, and when did.. I mean.. They really sucked. No of them seemed to be capable of doing anything right. I think black dude could have killed them all.. Things I didn't like.. Annoying daughter.. I actually didn't like any of them, except black dude. He was awesome. The reason I'm calling him that is that he didn't have a name.. He was called bloody stranger, but I think black dude sounds cooler. I didn't like the fact that their security system sucked. I didn't get why they were wearing masks.. I mean, that one guy just took it off.. I didn't like how unimportant Henry was. And I didn't get why Henry called out James's name before trying to shoot him. I don't get why the robot was some creepy baby-born. It was funny that the blonde dude kept on calling awesome black guy swine or pig.. The whole dialog in this movie felt very forced. Overall.. This movie sucked.. It was just so.. Boring.. But, it did make me laugh. So, if you are bored you could watch this. It was really bad, but if you need to kill time, why not watch this! But, you could of course do something much more entertaining such as watch a different movie, read a book or watch grass grow!
