Review of The Purge (2013) by Namir G — 01 Nov 2016
- The opening character said "Home again home again, jiggity jig.".
- "Timmy" is a burnt baby doll with camera eyes glued to a remote control tank. It's way creepier than whatever you're thinking now.
- The idea of "The Purge" reminds me of the short story "The Lottery" and "The Running Man". How future dystopian societies cope with population control is...brutal. This movie has interesting political underpinnings that eerily mirror current society.
- There is a fishbowl filled with giant-sized dominos. People are weird.
- There's weird and then there's stupid. Henry is currently exhibiting a truckload of the latter.
- Aww yeah. Shit just got real. Mental note: don't give the disarm codes to the 11 yo.
- If murder is legal until a prescribed time, does it count if someone steps in a poison bear trap after the deadline?
- The lead actress is the warrior queen from 300. Now she's a blubbering waif. The former would not stand for what's currently happening and would have this whole situation under control.
- That...that appears to be an angry mob.
- That's an interesting Clockwork Orange twist.
- "We are going to ride the rest of this night out in motherfucking peace.".
