Nice concept, poor execution

They spent more time on the daughter and her boyfriend than did explaining the actual rules for The Purge
-WTF are class 4 weapons, or even weapon classes at all?
Purges are supposedly good for the economy but what about all the property damage and looting?
Apparently the rich can buy security but what about the loss of skilled and often in short supply but not 'rich' individuals -doctors, scientists, quality teachers, engineers, etc.?
While I was annoyed to no end with the son at least he wasn't a cardboard cut out stereotype/archetype like EVERY women in the film.
I feel like Lena Heady was supremely underused,I would have liked the roles reversed and her as the strong protective bad ass while her husband was pathetically flailed around whimpering.
It was suggested that their house security was not the best but pretty -yet any fool with some chains and a truck get through. lolwat?
Also no panic room or armed security response...and I thought they were supposed to be rich.
