The Purge

REMINDER: ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR A 12-HOUR PERIOD DURING THE PURGE.Ā 

thepurgeOn a government-sanctioned day in the near future, every law is suspended; a family braces itself for the coming 12-hour massacreā€¦ A marriage between sentiments and ideas from movies like A Clockwork Orange (1971) and Assault on Precinct 13 (1977), this is a very dark action thriller that kind of wants you to take its illogical and absurd fascist satire seriously. That’s hard, not least because the story is set much too close to our time to be believed. Still, writer-director James DeMonaco offers plenty of cheap thrills.
