I don't think the Purge movies are very good, but I enjoy watching them anyway. I think they are conceptually very interesting. There's a really good book series in there somewhere.

One night per year, the government sanctions a 12-hour period in which citizens can commit any crime they wish -- including murder -- without fear of punishment or imprisonment. Leo, a sergeant who lost his son, plans a vigilante mission of revenge during the mayhem. However, instead of a death-dealing avenger, he becomes the unexpected protector of four innocent strangers who desperately need his help if they are to survive the night.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lean, propulsive survival thriller that weaponizes its dystopian premise as a countdown clock. Leo's arc from avenger to protector drives home surprisingly genuine stakes amid the relentless carnage.
