A muddled crime drama. Doesn't flow smoothly and the flashback scenes don't make up for the lack of plot.

Maureen O'Hara at the centre of a crime.

Gloria Grahame.

The story of the first reality TV show to follow an everyday family. The original series showed the frailties of a marriage, an openly gay son and a strong matriarch. This film is suuposed to tell you what happened off-camera. Not very exciting, especially if you're not into reality television. I watched this for Diane Lane and James Gandolfini.

One night a year all crime is legal. That's basically it. The rest of the story is about a security systems salesman and his family who are threatened on the night of 'The Purge' by several different parties. Apart from a few extra bits, that is the story. Not badly done but a little bit limited in its approach of a good idea.
