The Purge


Character decisions and motivations perfectly match the premise because they too make no sense.  Well shot, and remarkably well cast, but Headey’s brain-dead wife and Hawke’s clipped doofus suggest that perhaps once a year, agents can force A-list actors to take C- roles.  A film worth purging from any collection.

300

White leader defies legislature and sends undersized force to fight symbolic battle against brown people. Similarities to real events totally coincidental. Weak story made up for by outstanding visuals and brilliant use of slow motion. Probably responsible for more men joining the military or discovering their homosexuality than any other film.
