Great subject, although not very well shot

I was supposed to write a short review, so let’s write a little more review:
1. The setting of the film is very good. In an unfair situation, vested interests have an advantage in weapons (poor people) in order to protect their own interests. It is unjust but it can happen naturally.
2. The setting of the film itself is a test of human nature; the little boy here represents the innate not doing evil in human nature; and the male protagonist represents rationality.
3. The masked men's groups that are chasing and killing represent groups of vested interests that have the same status as the male lead's family. The targets of their killings are actually clearly distinguished, but the most evil side is slowly displayed in the killing, that is, Killing his accomplice at the door for no reason, it is these performances that push the little boy to the violent side.
4. The black people being hunted down are for positive guidance, right? It seems so. Want to say good is rewarded? However, the plot really fell into a rut.
5. The setting of Killing Day is not explained enough, and the corresponding rules are not explained enough.
6. I am full of expectations for the follow-up; after such a night, the children of the male protagonist should be able to grow up, right? Are they going to kill next? Or against killing?
Torture human nature, torture the injustice of society; torture the ultimate direction of social development, but under such a setting, the director cannot perfectly grasp, and the final pattern seems stingy.
For this topic, I can still recommend it.

    As a thriller with an investment of only 3 million US dollars, it has already brought me enough surprises. Some logical loopholes cannot hide the light of this idea. It is structured with an old violent intruder plot routine. A human dilemma and social fable.

    A low-cost indoor horror drama, the idea is good, but the layout is too small, mainly in the torture of human nature, not in the atmosphere and methods of killing. Wouldn't it be better if the ending was total annihilation, and then pretended to force the boss to mock the sentence "Is the life of a homeless worth saving with your life and your family's life?" ! PS Ethan seems to have acted in a lot of B-level horror and science fiction films?

The Purge quotes

  • Mary Sandin: We are gonna play the rest of this night out in motherfucking peace. Does anyone have a problem with that?

  • Polite Leader: [Regretfully, after stabbing James] Shhh. It's OK. Your soul has been cleansed, Mr. Sandin. You've purged. Just one question for you: was his life worth yours? Your family's? Thank you for this unforgettable purge, Mr Sandin.
