This movie sucked. No pussyfooting around, no soft pitch, I'm just going to give it to you straight. Do not watch The Purge. It is ham-handed, cliché-ridden, and a waste of your time.America has instituted a 12-hour annual Purge, where all crime, including murder, is legal. People that can afford it lock themselves inside their houses and wait it out. The Sandin family was planning on doing just that when their son (Max Burkholder) hears a man outside calling for help. He opens the security system to let the stranger (Edwin Hodge) into their house on the most dangerous night of the year. Then the people chasing the stranger show up and demand that he be returned to them for purging, or they'll come in and kill everyone. James (Ethan Hawke), the father, intends to do that, if he can just find the guy in his enormous house.
This is possibly the stupidest family in America and, frankly, I think they deserved what they got and more. I could go on a long diatribe about how dumb they are and all the mistakes they made but that's giving this movie more press than is justified. Do not watch this movie. It is terrible.
