GREAT CONCEPT, Sadly lost its potential halfway

Rating: 4/10 (15 August 2013)

Just saw the film Purge, the concept had so much potential to be a truly deep film about society, human nature and evil, but halfway through it just ended up into a pointless violent movie, wasted storyline that could have turned into a great film. I wanted to know who was the new founding fathers, that was always on my mind since they kept bringing it up, was there a conspiracy?, who was in charge?, what is the world like outside of that neighbourhood?, so many unanswered questions just made it frustrating towards the end and it didn't help that the ending wasn't exactly satisfying in my eyes. I wanted to see some kind of justice or more aftermath but it just leaves so much open and your left with what seems like a half finished plot that ended on a low note.
After watching it all though sometimes you wonder will the world ever become that stupid like The Running Man (1987)
