Am I the only person then who thought the concept of The Purge was dumb? Just me?
Just me
I didn't think it was dumb, but I do find it unrealistic, particularly for taking place such a short time into the future. In many ways, it can be seen as a hyperbolic satire of many right-wing philosophies, particularly "every man for himself" and "businesses have the right to do whatever they want to make money, even if it hurts people," taking them to a logical extreme and seeing what develops. It did end up being more akin to a standard home-invasion movie than it deserved; I'm looking forward to the sequel to see if they expand on it at all.
