"Decriminalised Murder. An outlet for American Rage." There's nothing worse than watching a motion picture completely waste a brilliant premise. 2013's The Purge is one such movie. It's built on a marvellous idea that could've made for a mature and thought-provoking examination of contemporary society, but writer-director James DeMonaco has no interest in a quality motion picture, instead deliver... read more

Let me begin by saying that The Purge's box office success reveals far more of the bloodthirsty anarchism that lies barely dormant in today's society than establishing it's viability as a well-crafted film. Now this assessment might seem a bit harsh to some, especially if this film was well-received by you but let me state my case and you be the judge.

The future kind of sucks. (432 movies items)

"Reason for the future sucking: The crime rate, is at all time low, and so is unemployment. To keep it low, all crimes, even murder is made legal. Which sounds like a recipe, for disaster. Year it takes place: 2022"

Message or Meaning! (24 movies items)

" The message: The basis of the movies rely on The Purge; twelve hours of lawless rule, where any and all crime is legal and there are zero consequences in return, even when it comes to murder. The Purge was created to lower the population in lower-class neighborhoods, specifically areas filled with POC. While people in these areas hide and fight for their lives over the twelve-hour period, people who have a substantial amount of money and are on the wealthy side of the world don't have to w"
