Written and directed by James DeMonaco (Assault on Precinct 13, 2005), The Purge has one of those types of breakthrough concepts that are simply amazing when given any real thought. And by that, I mean the movie evokes the same sorta\u2019 feeling about a motion picture concept, like The Matrix did when it first landed in theaters, in1999. At least that is the way I felt when I first heard of it.<\/p>\n
The Purge is a movie that explores the concept of blowing off a little steam in order to create a safer society. And I\u2019m sure that many of the \u201ctalking heads\u201d may say that this is not be a bad idea for a movie and arguably could be a bit of a game-changer if done correct. However, DeMonaco\u2019s take on the idea doesn’t really hold together very well, once it all plays out. It starts from a premise that seems poised to provoke moral thought. Questions arise, such as: Should society be allowed to weed out less desirable elements by natural selection? Who should decide who lives or dies? All very valid questions, if only the movie would lead us, the viewers, to some sorta conclusions. Be it as it may, it\u2019s sad to say, DeMonaco really bungles it completely.<\/p>\n
The flick quickly slithers in to being just another horror film wannabe, confining itself to a single home, where lots of horrible things happen.
