The Purge

Could you imagine a few hours every year when all crime was legal including rape and murder?  Well in 2022 that event takes plays every year on the same day for 12 consecutive hours.  That event is called The Purge.

It star Ethan Hawke who plays James Sandins.  The Sandins are a typical American family, but they do not take action in the purge.  Instead they act as if everything is normal and carry on there normal business.  With giving away any details and spoilers the night does go ask expected as James has to defend his family after one of his son feels generous on the wrong day of the year.  There is twist at the end I did not see coming that really shows how different people really are compared to what we think.  The previews and trailers may make this seem like a horror or scary movie but I did not think it was.  It was full of action and suspense with a few seat jumping moments but I would classify it as a scary movie and I am big scaredy cat when it comes to horror movies.  

In my little small town this is the only movie playing right now that has action and suspense that does not include tights and cape or a flying metal suit.  So if you haven't seen it yet and if Man of Steel is sold out or you don't like being in crowded theatre I recommend you seeing The Purge.
