Alright lets hear it. Who would it be? You all have
that one person in your life who drives you nuts, who you cant stand, that you
would maybe even kill? Now imagine you have one night a year where it is
legal! "I would never" or "I have higher morals than
that" I'm sure many of you are saying that right now and I am
calling a great big bullshit! Ok, we know the Purge premise and
those of you who watched the first one hopefully were a little disappointed.
I really didn't like the first but thoroughly enjoyed this one.
First off we aren't stuck in a house all night with Ethan Hawk. This
story was a little more of a "Warriors" type movie where a group has
to make it through the city. The Purgers are awesome and of course a more
sinister lurks behind the curtain. They threw in some good story-lines
here such as purging for profit and a rebellion rising up against the
debutantes. This movie stars a very underrated Frank Grillo, who is
pretty much bad ass in every movie he is in. There are some serious holes
in this movie such as, what the hell are the weak, non purging suburbanites
doing out an hour before the purge? How do you not have a weapon of any
sorts no matter what? Why the hell don't you have a back up plan for your
back up plan??? This movie takes place during the sixth purge, if you
dont know how to take drastic measures by now, your screwed. All in all I
really liked this movie, especially since the first one was such a let down.
Give it a shot and try not to kill anyone on your way to the Redbox.
FYI: The cast was so into this movie they actually went to a
suburb of Manhattan and killed people for cinematic research.
