    Cool concept, reasonably entertaining film. Anyone seen it?

    The sequel that came out last year was actually A LOT better!

    The first one with Ethan Hawk was pretty fuckin mediocre. Like a 5/10

    The Purge 2: Anarchy was everything the original should have been. Still not a great movie, but a lot better than the first. It's like a 7/10.

    Overall, the CONCEPT behind the franchise is great. I feel like the right film maker coulda made a classic horror movie from that concept.

    I agree

    Somewhere along the line in the first one, it went from an interesting movie to a generic home-invasion thriller. It just went to crap roughly about halfway thru the movie.

    The sequel was pretty good.
