A Quick and Thrilling Ride,

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2014)

The Purge is a good movie with a well written storyline and a good cast.It isn't anything outstanding,but it's a short and sweet film that is very thrilling and will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout.I do think the movie got in to the main storyline too quickly and put the main characters in danger before giving the audience enough time to really care about them.Most of the cast isn't great but the movie was mostly saved from the performances of Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey,sure Hawke dosen't shy away too differently from characters we've seen him play before and Headey's acting isn't the same outstanding acting she delivers in Game of Thrones,but having more professional actors did honestly make you care more about their characters,however I honestly had no care for their children.The thing that annoyed me the most is that the movie was trying to give out a message about the future of humanity that didn't work out as well as they probably thought.The Purge is an enjoyable movie that certainly has its flaws but I would still recommend it to anyone looking for a short and sweet thriller.
A wealthy family must protect themselves and their home from people that are free to commit any crime they want for 12 hours once a year.
