![]() Why spend the time to create a concept that so big, then set the movie with that concept in one location? ![]() I can see why it wasn't well received, as that sounds terrible. According to Wikipedia it's about a well-to-do white family protecting a black person against people during The Purge. My understanding is that the first film was something of a disappointment, failing to do anything with this concept. I dig this idea, since it's similar to one of my favorite comic series The Crossed, and the idea of stripping mankind down to it's most primal core is an interesting one we don't see played around with much. Citizens are free to do whatever they want, as long as it ends when The Purge does. Every year, from 7pm March 21 to 7am March 22 every crime in America is legal and all emergency services are shut down. ![]() The idea is that all a country needs to run is a release. Everything is hunky dory, and it's all thanks to the Purge. Crime rates are down, unemployment is at an all time low, and every year the number of citizens living below the poverty line goes down. It takes place in the near future, about twenty years from now, where the US government has been replaced by a group calling themselves The New Founding Fathers. That's sort of the world that The Purge sets up. Given the opportunity, we'd all probably go crazy and give in to our most feral desires. Let's face it, deep down inside all mankind is inherently evil. I liked the idea of it, take the basic de-construction of a zombie movie, and remove the zombies. I didn't watch the original The Purge, and apparently that's probably for the best. The wealthy have their own way of Purging.
