what would you do?

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2014)

Firstly: It isn't a bit like Assault on Precinct 13 (the real one) apart from a few wimpy mutterings, there was never a serious move to surrender the hostage in "Assault" Here we have something a little deeper: how bad would things have to get to turn you into the sort of person you'd rather not be? It didn't explain the circumstances that led to the purge and the historical background? Who cares. It's not a documentary. I think it's on a couple of levels. A straight out thriller and an allegory. Do you protect some guy who has no connection with you if society says he should die? You have a comfortable life. Why should his problem be your problem? Ah, the moral dilemma. I just paused the movie to write this. It's about 10 minutes before the I end. I thought there was a siren on the soundtrack, but the siren kept going when the movie stopped.
Maybe the Purge is over for another year.
