Best movie of this year hands down!
hyped garbage
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Carl Black (Mike Epps) absconds with drug money as he takes his family to lie low in a gated community in Beverly Hills. Being a dead beat, Carl has a lot of people looking for him leaving behind including baby mommas. On the night of "The Purge" they all come looking for him, even the clown ( Mike Tyson) he stiffed from his kid's birthday party.This is a spoof of "The Purge" and perhaps needed a better title. The bulk of the humor is racial and inter-racial as we contrast red bones vs. black people. I would suppose the African-American community will enjoy this comedy more than I did. While the film had its moments, the humor grew old with all the accidental and misdirected deaths.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Zulay Henao in swimsuit for eye candy.
After watching this film and seeing both sides of the argument. I was left (again) on the fence but a little bit to the good side. A pretty interesting purge parody movie, about a family moving to Beverly Hills during the purge and then getting ransacked.Obviously people will argue that this film is "racist", as per usual, and to some extent it kind of is, and obviously during the purge, everyone wants to kill them. But because its a comedy film, we should take everything as satire with a pinch of salt. From my point of view, its a funny comedy that made me laugh quite a lot, and i see no downside apart from the alleged "racism". This means, its not for everyone.But at the end of the day, my words to you are: If your easily offended, don't watch it. If your not, then why not give it a shot?
I rate it a 6/10 because it was an OK movie it wasn't bad and it wasn't too good but it is a good re-watch for me i give it that the only parts i didn't like it the movie were like when they didn't say that many funny jokes i only laughed like 3 times thru the whole movie and that's unusual for me but everything good in the movie was that it lives up to the name and it lived up to a way the purge was but there wasn't much bad or good but i do think it was OK i would say buy it just don't buy the blu-ray it ain't that worth it unless it goes down a little bit but all and all its and OK movie i think that if you watch it you will watch it again.
Mike epps... with this movie he has proved proved he officially needs acting and comedy lessons. His acting is atrocious his ability to execute or tell jokes is practically none existent. Th "movie" itself is just a waste of time at best , its boring , its NOT funny at all terrible writing , bad casting , some of the worst acting and the attempts of comedy relief are painfully bad! Its one of the worst movies I've watched all year hands down and honestly its probably one of the worst films I've ever watched...... I wish i could say something good about this i really do , But calling this a comedy is a reach let alone a movie , its sad that anyone would let themselves be part of something they have to know is just a waste of every ones time and trash from the beginning. Money means more then quality , standards , being good at what you do and or love , integrity and especially more then helping others or making other happy... quite sad from any perspective or position in life. i'm only in my 20s and i realize the importance of those qualities and how that if even 1 in 5 people practiced that in there own life and simply learned to be passionate , do the best you can in every situation , have integrity, care for others , and hold ourselves to a higher standard. With that little effort this world would be as amazing as it is beautiful an vast! Imagine...Thats My Review - Take Care Everyone & God Bless ,I Hope We ALL Find Happiness in not only our personal lives but as a whole!Thats a Dream we can all embrace.
