Well guys I have to tell you I need more!
Okay let me set this up. I rushed out of work, drove straight to the theater, got my ticket, popcorn and sat down. I ignored the trailers, I ignored the talkative group of girls in the front to the left and I focused. Well by the fifth big head close up (direction shot) I was restless.
Now they introduce a creepy kid, their son. He is creepy for no reason, and more close ups.

Then the teenage daughter, who loves her boyfriend and daddy hates him. It this point I am figuring this movie out. This was not going well. Two seats in this theater cost $25.00.
Bay, Bay WTH!
Okay back to the close ups; close up on toy, close up on a kissing teenagers, close up on a watch.
Middle shot Ethan Hawke looks camera right/down at his desk, then talk talk talk and the alarm sounds and the purge begins.
The rest is just a slasher film! A regular slasher film, just like any other slasher film. Last House on the Left, toss one in air and pick a slasher film and that's the content of the movie. Then at 7 am the alarm sounds and the purge is over.
Yah! It's over, a lot of people are dead...so what...Yah!
"The Purge" is a movie with a great concept, A list actors and an unbalance script.
MY FIVE POINTS TO WHY:
1. You did not show how a family w/o an alarm system survived that night...
2. You did not show the after effects of a purge in the past...
3. You should have show how a major city: business, hospital, police station, fast food dealt with such an evening...
4. You did not show how others in other parts of the US (Kentucky, Florida, Texas)were planning for the purge...
5. You did not show how Americans were dealing with the purge...
You guys could have done so much and you guys did so little.
Oh yeah there's a sister in it. Tisha French, she's from Detroit.
I was not happy with this outcome. I imagined so much so in my head, in fact I should have gone to see Fast 6 again.
