6.9/10.The idea of all crime legal for one night out of the year is intriguing.Mainly when you consider what Congress gets away with all year long.Still I find it to be one of the better done home invasion movies with Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey doing a pretty good job.They go from a not caring well to do couple to one fighting for survival alongside their kids.The atmosphere almost reminds me of a mix of Halloween, Assault On Precinct 13, and Night Of The Living Dead.The young Purgers are especially creepy, obsessed with killing Edwin Hodge.I found him also to be pretty good.A decent start to the franchise.

James Sandin: Tonight allows people a release for all the hatred and violence that they keep up inside them.
Charlie Sandin: Why don't you guys kill someone tonight?
James Sandin: Because we don't feel the need to, Charlie.
Question: Why didn't those purge people just go find someone else? Why waste all their time on one house and why did the girls go around in flimsy dresses and barefoot on a cold night?
Answer: Shortly after letting the black guy into their house, the gang leader tells James that he (the black man) killed one of their members, and they wanted revenge.

Answer: These purgers are pretty crazy. They were hunting this person, a homeless man, and they wanted to kill him specifically. They wanted their prize, the trophy of their hunt. And they won't let anyone stop them as it's their right. So being blocked from their target only increases their desire.
