It certainly has to say right of the bat that the handful of reviewers praising this movie (and even giving it a high rating, which it certainly doesn't deserve) are friends and family of the Director. Nothing against their deception order to help a friend, but blind loyalty and praise isn't doing him or the film any favours. Purge is about as exciting as drying paint watching grass grow. Uneventfully bad. And no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The fact that the Director has done next to nothing since proves my point. He gave it a go (alright, I'll give him respect for that), it backfired horrendously, he brought forward a wretched abortion onto the world, then fizzled away like a fart in the wind (leaving behind the foul stench that is his film).
You check the movies rating here, what you'll see aren't lies, fake news, trolls or whatever (insert conspiracy theory here), it's legitimate votes of 1 that are even far too good for such a terrible film to receive. Let's just hope nothing more will ever come about from this film.
