The year is 2022
& United States of America stand out as a reborn nation.. With only 1 %
unemployment, crime is at all-time LOW & life has never been better..
BECAUSE one night a year, for a 12 hours period during The Purge night, ALL CRIME IS LEGAL..
From the producer
of Paranormal Activity & Sinister Jason Blum, directed by James DeMonaco,
The Purge definitely sounds awesome & looks good trailer wise..
Plot: “It’s the year 2022 and America has rebounded
from a devastating financial catastrophe & is at an almost perfect domestic
peace. Unemployment is at an all-time low 1 % and crime is virtually doesn’t exist..
Except on one day of the year.. which the New Founders have established so that
everyone can vent their latent hatred and bigotry without consequence … except
on select government officials. The rest of America can “purify their souls”
through 12 hours of mayhem, murder, and anarchy known as The Purge. It is a big business which brings great
fortune for James Sandin and his family, but this year, the purge hits very
close to home.. Literary.. As they will be tested to see how far they will go
to protect themselves & their family when the vicious outside world breaks
into their home.”
Classified under horror/thriller
genre The Purge definitely sounds cool premise wise, leaving quite a lot of
expectation on the story & characters.. Unfortunately the movie just doesn't
quite live up to expectations, the acting is pale, the story is surprisingly predictable
& even the sound effect sounds monotonous..
Still there’re some
nicely execute scares & thrills sequences, few of the close-up gun shoot scene
are nicely executed, perhaps the film will be even better if our ‘beloved’ Film
Censorship Board of Malaysia manage to keep their brutal cuts away =.=lll..
To conclude, The
Purge is a rookie horror film of ridiculous morally distorted nation which claim
to be perfect & existing only in the imagination.. Still it get a passing grade, but barely due to it's slight sense of horror.
