THE PURGE [2013]

The Purge is an intense and quite often frustrating home invasion thriller from writer/director James DeMonaco.
It starts out quite intriguing with an attempt to deliver a message to viewers but ultimately gets lost in the mix of stupid character choices and mind-numbing predictability.  I expected the worst, based on the more than horrible reactions but I suspect a lot of it had to do with the touchy material that most "wishy washy" people found very uncomfortable to think about it.  The film's biggest disappointment is that with a bit more thought the fantastic concept wouldn't have been put to waste with such a shitty execution.
