    I agree with most of your review this time but not all of it. The fruit was there for the taking with this idea and they just went a traditional route which made the idea of "The Purge" practically irrelevant.

    Everything that took place in this movie took place in other movies which delved into home invasion. A bunch of nut-jobs terrorizing a family. I didn't go into this in the other thread but since you have a spoiler warning I will go into my main issue with this flick here.

    I agree with all the stupid plot points, the kids, the boyfriend, and the stupid "twist". However what really got me disappointed was the fact this movie had the potential to be great. The Purge, a night where all crime is legal. This film should have focused on normal, everyday people and not a family hunkered down being tormented by obvious maniacs. Opportunity lost.

    It makes the idea of The Purge practically irrelevant. The movie did have some cool scenes like when Ethan Hawke got all bad-ass, but again it was such a walk down a familiar path it ruined the entire idea for me.

    I really liked the flick. It was a fun watch, but it did have some obvious cliché and weird moments like you mentioned. I hated the "someone standing behind the fridge" thing. Geez how many times are filmmakers gonna do that??? And how many times was someone fixing to be killed by a bad guy only to be saved by someone off screen? I mean yeah you can do that once, but after that the audience is expecting it. Figure out something different for the rest of the times will ya!

    I also agree about the motive for the people in the end being dumb, but that's the point. Its supposed to be dumb, because their are people out there actually like that. It was just a richy rich stuck up bitch mad because the neighbors had more than she did. I think that was some of the point of the movie. You're reasoning and excuses for purging are just stupid. But yet most people did them anyway. Here I am speaking all terrible about the movie, when in fact I enjoyed myself. I enjoyed myself so much in fact that I've heard talk of a sequel and I hope it happens. Theres a 1,000 different stories you can tell here with a completely new situation. You can go more crime thriller, you can go more texas chainsaw. Theres other stories than can be told, and I think they should.
