The purge sounds like such a dumb, mean premise and then you watchit and find out it's a really clever critique of America and how "human nature" tends towards kindness and cooperation while the upper classes try to enforce brutality and horror. I think the plot in the "first purge" movie is they do the purge but poor people are just having cookouts and street parties and enjoying life and community free from police violence so the government trucks in hundreds of mercenaries to make sure the purge "works"
