This Is the Night (2021)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
"This is the Night" is curiously directed by the creator of the "A Night of Crime" franchise, James DeMonaco, and here he delivers a much more intimate work and totally distant from his terror franchise - or almost: to be fair, a brief resemblance is that this movie also takes place during a busy night. The feature is a coming-of-age story, with autobiographical nuances. It tells the story of a boy from an Italian immigrant family growing up in an American city, and pursuing his dreams and his place. Although it lacks a bit of charisma and originality, the movie is unpretentious and pleasant, with an identifiable character and a story of self-knowledge easy to relate to.

The Purge: Anarchy
The premise is already surprising, though morally debatable. During the 'Purge Night', any American citizen is allowed to kill whoever they want and get away with it. The plot then shows various characters driven by hate to do justice.
The Purge
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.
