Why watch this film?

A country where people can commit crimes at will, during one night, without any kind of condemnation. That is the premise of the inventive and entertaining 'The Purge', a feature film by James DeMonaco - which ended up generating three other films and a TV series. With a star-studded cast, including Ethan Hawke ('Before Sunrise') and Lena Headey ('Game of Thrones'), the feature film creates a tense and apprehensive atmosphere as it shows a family that is put at risk during this night of crime, also known as The Purge. There are some considerable narrative problems, in addition to a rhythm that breaks in the middle. However, the premise is still interesting enough to keep the viewer's attention for a surprising and quite violent ending.
