America'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. Ignoring the forced political white knight attitude, the bland plot with generic action movie sequences, embarrassingly under-written characters, and seemingly early 90's special effects, The First Purge manages to keep me barely interested for just under 90 minutes and nothing more. It was a great movie, lots of action scenes. Main character is a bad ass!! Can't wait for the next purge! The most politically potent sci-fi/horror film series since the early years of George A. Romero gets a bloody, visceral and yes, emotional prequel with The First Purge, the movie that tells how we got from “here” to “there.”
