Gagged to purge, to purge, from watching the purge

Rating: 3/10 (3 September 2013)

I feel like a movie that depends on a lack of common sense to create the entire situation is a very difficult start to swallow. Then uncanny timing of people saving other people at the very last second...unbearable. There were about five or six scenes in the last half hour of one family member/hobo saving the other family member at the last possible second. If you're power to your house it cut, and there is a gang of lunatics in the house...please do not walk aimlessly around the house with a flashlight. That is sure fire way to be noticed and have your life ended. If anything use the flashlight as a decoy on a chair and lie on the ground behind cover so that if someone opens the door they are prompted to fire at the flashlight or something. I'm not a cop or a bad ass...it just seems like common hunt or be hunted knowledge, you don't walk around a dark environment, lit up like a beacon lol There are layers upon layers of common sense lacking to make it a qualified story line. Aside from that, the "lunatics" were like limp wristed prep kids...the one thing that this movie taught me is that stabbing someone requires no strength or effort, you can basically dip the knife into someone. The scares were mostly predictable. It is hard to take a murder seriously when they are prancing around in the front yard. I don't know much about murders, i would like to think that they wouldn't hold hands and prance around the front yard. I'm usually not hard on movies about this kind of stuff.
There are movies that are unconventional in every sense, are way over the top too (maybe like a Tarantino movie or something), but they have some sort of style, "swag", culture, rhythm, I don't know. This just didn't have it.
