What if all crime was legal for 12 hours a year? That’s the premise behind horror movie The Purge.
Ethan Hawke (Daybreakers) stars as James Sandin, father and husband to Mary (Lena Headey, TV’s Game of Thrones), who lives in a gated community that goes into yearly lockdown during the free-for-all 12 hours that America allows.
When an intruder breaks in, James and Mary must survive the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.
R-rated The Purge grossed a tidy $65 million in theaters, but the movie didn’t get great reviews from critics. Variety‘s Leslie Felperin called it “disappointing,” and Hollywood Reporter‘s Neil Young wrote the “gimmicky chiller lacks the robustness and distinction needed to support its social commentary ambitions.”
The DVD and Blu-ray only contain one special feature: “Surviving the Night: The Making of The Purge.”
But the Blu-ray/DVD Combo also offers a downloadable digital copy of the film and instant streaming through UltraViolet.
