Had a lot of potential

Rating: 6/10 (1 June 2013)

I went to see The Purge in the cinema shortly after it's release. The trailers immediately caught my attention and i knew it was a film that i wanted to see. One night where utter chaos is permitted,it sounded intriguing and exciting.
The acting was good all round from the cast of the film and Rhys Wakefield played a convincing performance of a truly disturbing killer and i was also impressed by Lena Headey's performance and was looking forward to see her in a role outside of Game Of Thrones. The film was tense and the action scenes were thrilling but i wanted to see more of The actual Purge not just from one family's eyes. I was disappointed that they didn't develop the story of the Purge further and i thought the film had the potential to be something better than it was. Overall the film had good acting from the cast and a good story but do not expect too much from this film.
