The Purge (2013)
Directed by James
DeMonaco this film stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headly, Max Burkholder and
Adeliade Kane. In the near future on one night every year all laws
are suspended to allow society a “pressure release”.
The plot of this film
is clearly supposed to be a criticism of social conservatism,
libertarianism and anarchists but I am not sure that it ever really
goes far enough in exploring the reasons behind these philosophies.
Ultimately the story is a fairly standard thriller that does not do
much beyond the ordinary. Some of the action sequences are not bad
but they lack much tension and a lot of the characters have little
depth to them.
3/5
