I really like this trailer.  James DeMonaco, who wrote the screenplay for the excellent “Assault On Precinct 13” reboot is directing “The Purge,” which takes place in an America where crime and unemployment have fallen to unheard of lows.

It’s a golden age, though nothing worth having comes without a price.

That price is known as ‘the Purge,’ which, for twelve hours, once a year, you can steal, beat, rape or kill whomever you want, with no repercussions, legal or seemingly, moral.

From the trailer I assume that everyone saves up their anger and frustrations till it comes around, wild out, then balance out, so for the rest of the year everyone is kinder and gentler.

All of  that anger, all of that rage, building for the better part of a year…I would hate to be the focus of it.

Ethan Hawke and his family, to their dismay, will soon intimately learn what happens you when you get in the way of the Purge.
