a5c7b9f00b America&#39;s third political party, the New Founding Fathers of America, comes to power and conducts an experiment: no laws for 12 hours on Staten Island. No one has to stay on the island, but $5,000 is given anyone who does. Now I don&#39;t know about this particular episode in the series, but I could actually wish this wasn&#39;t just a movie. I think our government might just consider making this a reality. Not exactly for the reasons displayed within the movie, but still. I&#39;m not exactly espousing we have a legal hunting day for people, well I kind of am. But it would give those frustrated citizens who obey the Nations laws 364 days of the year a chance to put a little civilization back into society. So I will see this when I can rent it, but in the meantime, I give it 6 stars because the others were pretty good. &#39;THE FIRST PURGE&#39;: Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)<br/><br/>The forth film in the popular horror flick series, and a prequel to the others, about the very first annual &#39;Purge&#39; (a 12-hour yearly period where all violent crime is legal, including murder). The slasher flick was written by series creator James DeMonaco once again, who this time handed directing duties over to Gerard McMurray. It stars Y&#39;Lan Noel, Marisa Tomei, Lex Scott Davis, Mugga, Joivan Wade, Luna Lauren Velez and Kristen Solis. The gory sequel has received mixed reviews from critics so far (just like the others), but it&#39;s also a very profitable hit at the Box Officewell (just like the others too). I found it to be the least well made, and effective of the series, but it&#39;s still definitely worth watching (if you&#39;re a horror movie fan). <br/><br/>The New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), lead by Dr. May Updale (Tomei), first come up with the sociological experiment known&#39;The Purge&#39;, in order to reduce the crime rate and restore the economy. It&#39;s tested solely in an isolated poor community (of mostly minorities), and people are offered money to participate. The test at first doesn&#39;t goplanned, and the NFFA takes matters into their own hands (in order to force it&#39;s success). The experiment of course then becomes adapted nationwide, leading to the events of the first three films.<br/><br/>The movie is violent and disturbing, just like the others, but it&#39;s definitely lost a lot of it&#39;s shock value this time around. It also just doesn&#39;t seem nearlyfresh and original anymore, orthought-provoking. I like that it stars mostly minorities though (that&#39;s always a good thing), and Tomei makes a nice domineering villain (for a change). I think the film will be a lot more impressive, and entertaining, to those who haven&#39;t seen the other three films at least. It knows what year it’s coming out — on July 4, no less — and it’s slamming on every hot button it can find. That might be cathartic. It might also be turning pain into entertainment. With The First Purge, your mileage may vary.
