The Purge
 
I don't think I've seen a worse premise for a movie. James DeMonaco should be shot, pun half intended.

If there so rich why don't they leave the country for 48 hours?

You know I had a laundry list of things that I found wrong with the premise and what you said pretty much trumps all of them. The only loophole I can think of is:

I hope they show others getting killed before the plot starts

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who thinks the whole thing is simply bad. :D

Didn't see it, don't plan on it. It's currently sitting at 40% on rotten tomatoes.
Reading the reviews is pretty hilarious.

WWZ is at 80% from all of the critics who's already seen it. Leaves a bit of hope for a good mindless action movie in a few weeks. :)

Saw it today, one of the most idiotic movies I've ever seen. Both of the kids in that movie must be mentally challenged, only way to explain the retarded decisions they make.

Also why don't they have panic rooms? That would solve the problem instantly.

The entire theatre was laughing when all it took for the big shot future security system to fail was two pickup trucks pulling at it.

This movie is basically a cash-in on the growing conspiracy surrounding FEMA and allegedly planned "population reduction".

I'm not sure why the government would be gung-ho about removing a large chunk of its tax revenue source, but whatever.

Only seen a few trailers but yeah it looks stupid.

On a day where anything is legal, why would you go after this one family?

I'd be down robbing banks and electronics stores...ya know stocking up until next year.

I'm sure theres a reason they want that family but I doubt I'll ever find out why..
