The Purge is a 2013 American action horror film written and directed by James DeMonaco. It stars Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Adelaide Kane and Max Burkholder. It is the first installment in DeMonaco's The Purge (film series). Due to the success of the first film, a sequel film was developed by Universal and Blumhouse. It was released worldwide on July 18, 2014. In July 2014 the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre held a play entitled Seinfeld: The Purge, which parodied both Seinfeld and The Purge. The play, which was written by Justin Donaldson, focused on what each Seinfeld character would do during a purge, such as George trying to purge Joe Temple, a friend George viewed a movie with in the sixth season of Seinfeld.
In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment.
***SPOILER ALERT***
The Purge worked; I'm done with stupid violent movies for one year...
Absurd idea that had the potential to be a lot more interesting. It turned out to be just another movie about a home invasion...
I shoot you, you shoot me, I hide, you hide... I'm tired of this shit.
