THE PURGE - WRITTEN REVIEW
If you had one day where no there were no laws what would you do? Would you go crazy and murder or steal? Me, personally I would loiter my ass off and there would be nothing they could do. If you are wondering what the hell I am talking about, I am talking about The Purge you moron didn't you read the title and that is the exact premise of this movie and believe me it pretty awesome of a premise. It is your pal Brandon with his review of The Purge. I just have to say this we shall be seeing less audio reviews and more written only because it is such a pain to get the guys together to record so I hope you like reading boys and girls.
Everyone and there mother loved this premise of one day a year for 12 hours there are no laws. Except the fact you cant go after any five star general and above. Isn't that typical government crap, like oh you can kill anyone but us so go nuts. The movie surprised me on one fact how many douchebag bros and people who tend to love the worst movies. I was in a theater with these people and it was the worst I used to think old people were the worst movie goers. I was dead wrong the Bros are without a doubt the worst movie goers they should never be allowed in the theater unless they are alone. The movie isn't about the no laws the movie is truly about the rich vs. the poor. It makes sense because the rich can afford the big old security systems, but the homeless don't even have homes so no wonder they are targeted. I will have to say if you think this movie is a horror film it really isn't this is a survival film. For those of you who don't know the movie is about this kid lets a hunted homeless man into the home and the people trying to kill him are breaking in to kill everyone. The family must survive the night to live to see another day.
The biggest name in this movie is Ethan Hawke who plays the father of the family and he does a great job. He is the most rational member of the family for the most part even more important he has one scene in this movie where he is just a complete bad mother fucker. I do have to say his daughter in
this movie is drop dead gorgeous, Adelaide Kane is so freaking hot in the movie it made me a happy camper sitting in that theater. No need for me to say what is truly going on in my head during those scenes with her. I will have to say the James Sandin and Mary Sandin (the parents) would have been
much better off if they never had kids. There son may have rational views but he is too damn compassionate with the fact he lets a man being hunted into the house and when the family is looking for the man he hides him. His daughter as fine as she may be is a moron to say the least I won't say what happens but damn is she a dumb son of a bitch. The performance I thought was very well done was Henry (Tony Oller) he was the leader of the group trying to kill the homeless man. The guy was clearly nuts but he was so polite you almost could have been like well let him kill the homeless man he said please.
This movie was directed and written by James DeMonaco he is a big TV writer, he wrote The Killing Point and Crash. I liked the Killing Point a lot as a show and I think he did a great job with the dialog and the overall pace of the movie. It is paced perfectly once it gets going it's bat shit crazy. I hope to see more movies from him because I believe James did a great job with this movie and how everything plays out.
Overall this isn't a deep movie as it might at times try and be but it is a fun movie and if you are a jumpy person this is the movie for you. This is just a really good thriller, survival horror whatever you want to call it, it is well worth the price of admissions. I'm going to give this a high C+ see this on the big screen it's
