Home alone for grown ups

Rating: 5/10 (20 July 2013)

The Purge. It starts with a concept that is very promising. But it has too many strange turning points. The boyfriend that appears in the secured house out of nowhere, the father leaving the control room, the young son -Charlie- who knows the security code,etc. And then the forgiving mother. First thing what would go through my mind after having control of the situation with the neighbors and a gun in my hands: "what about next year's Purge? Hell no, I'll kill them now, now I have the chance!".
Therefore, I'm not sure what the director wants to tell / teach me with this movie. I had a deja-vu with Home Alone, from the moment the family is turning it's house into a fortress. Unfortunately Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern didn't turn up, but some upper class kids. Some of which dance into a house where they know they can be shot! I'm confused...
