Written by James DeMonaco and directed by Gerard McMurry, The First Purge follows the idea that behind every tradition lies a revolution.  The filmmakers are talking about the next Independence Day, witness the rise of our country’s 12 hours of annual lawlessness.  A movement that started as an experiment.

The silliness or craziness of the story is to push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.  But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Still, don’t think this is not worth seeing because DeMonaco, reportedly, has some success with the movie storyline as a series, The Purge: Election Year, The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy and The Purge: Election Year.

Now, he is returning with McMurry directing his script. The cast includes Y’Lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, Joivan Wade, Luna Lauren Velez, and Marisa Tomei.

The movie is streaming and the Blu-ray and DVD are on the streets as well.  If you want to see it again, or haven’t seen it, now is your chance.

The movie clip is an argument about Dimitri wanting to kill Nya’s brother during the Purge.

The featurette gives a little bit of information.  The whole story feels awkward.

The movie trailer pretty much tells you about the movie.  I am not sure if this is a horror movie or just a destructive movie.

The TV Spot called Together doesn’t offer much. I am sure more information will be coming soon.
