Watch The Purge Movie Online : James DeMonaco's nearfuture horror feature The Purge has the kind of highly unlikely yet highly compelling highconcept premise that makes you sit up and say Okay tell me more." Here's the sitrep: a decade from now American society has been completely transformed by the "new Founding Fathers" who rose to power out of the ashes of a conflicttorn economically troubled nation and devised a radical new plan for ridding the streets of violent crime. One night a year the citizenry is granted 12 glorious hours to let their inner bad guy run wild. Every potentially criminal act including robbery rape and murder is 100 percent legal and carried out with the complete absence of law enforcement and emergency services. It may sound crazy but according to The Purge this act of purging one's pentup anger (not to mention the weaker members of society who are the victims of this onenight crimewave) works. The U.S of A is once again a prosperous and stable country a place where you can feel good about living working and raising a family.provided they aren't all slaughtered in the annual purge of course.
Watch The Purge Movie : Sadly the premise is the only interesting thing about The Purge which very quickly devolves into a poorlystaged narrativelychallenged home invasion picture pitting a welloff family of four Dad is Ethan Hawke Mom is Lena Headey and their two kids are Adeliade Kane and Max Burkholder against a crew of masked marauders (led by Aussie actor Rhys Wakefield doing his best impression of a creepy Matt Smith) who are pursuing a purge victim (Edwin Hodge) who has taken up residence in their supposedly safeashouses house. I can understand still being attracted enough by the film's central idea to seek it out this weekend but here are a five reasons why I'd recommend purging all thought of seeing The Purge from your mind.
Download The Purge : The first 20 minutes of The Purge establish a number of potentially intriguing story threads that are either forgotten about poorly addressed or outright ignored going forward. For example it's intimated that in his youth Hawke's James Sandin who makes an exceptionally good living selling security systems to other uppercrust clans was once more of a firebrand liberal type but has since begun toeing the Purge party line to the benefit his bank account a betrayal of past values that has put him at odds with the rest of his family including his wife. But that tension isn't dealt with any substantive way with the family tooquickly rallying together when they go from observers to unwilling participants in the evening's Purge. Meanwhile his son is introduced as having a flair for rigging up homemade gadgets but then never makes any use of that skill beyond fashioning a roving toymounted video camera and his daughter initially demonstrates a rebellious streak that promptly vanishes (along with her presence for the most part) once the first act is over. I also kept waiting to learn what the deal was with the stranger they accidentally welcome into the house anticipating that he'd become more than just a plot device. But no much like the masked murderers who come acalling he's got zero personality zero history and zero.well point.
Download The Purge Movie : It's understandable that a stranger would have trouble navigating an unfamiliar house especially one as sizeable as the Sandinowned minimansion. But when the Sandins themselves appear uncertain of the terrain they inhabit on a daily basis you know the director has done a pisspoor job establishing the geography of the film's primary setting. Hallways seem to stretch on endlessly the location of certain rooms keeps shifting and characters forever seem to be getting caught in blind spots where they can turn around and see that someone with a gun/axe/other sharp object is standing right behind them. DeMonaco pulls the latter stunt so often I started to think that the Purge should be renamed "Stab Somebody in the Back Night." It's might be longer and less elegant but a hell of a lot more accurate.
