Low key, high stakes
I've hear complaints in the realm of " the concept was great,cool idea, but just a run of the mill home invasion movie " I disagree. I really enjoyed this movie. Can't wait to check out the sequels.
shareI also enjoy this movie, and Anarchy and Election Year are great continuations of the story.
I think that overall, the premise is really heavy and dark, which can be a lot for the viewer. But if you’re into that sort of thing—watching really f’d up morality tales—these movies can be pretty rewarding. Also I think the filmmakers did a good job of creating a believable alternate reality, which is at times thankfully unbelievable, but at the same time disturbingly plausible.
Yeah I agree on all your points. I really believed that the purge was just a necessary evil, a date on the calendar, it was so engrained in their lives. I also loved how the characters tried to justify it to themselves, almost make excuses. This movie didn't really have a main bad guy either, just an idea, that made everybody the potential baddy. Cool flick. I'm kinda kicking myself for not watching it sooner.
shareCheers to that!
And don’t kick yourself too hard, you can’t watch a movie any sooner than the moment you watch it.
