Yeah, the best was in the teasers. Well, the film edited down to the trailer made the film its best. Not too bad for a film that had almost all no-name characters in it. Frank Grillo pulled it all together as a policeman out for some Purge Justice who inadvertently rescues four folks caught out at night. They run and fight and run some more to escape the madness in order to find short-lived safety. In the end they are captured and sold as "purgees" to a load of rich folks who bid for the privilege to kill them. Much mayhem ensues and Grillo gets to mete out some Purge Justice in the end.
The acting was okay for such an action-thriller. The script did a lot of telegraphing but had an occasional twist that was nice but not mind-blowing. There was moralizing to be done against the feelthy riche and a government trying to clean up the streets by dispatching poor people.
All-in-all, predictable but involving because of the level of action. If you are bored and want to go out, sure. Otherwise, wait for Red Box or NF.

I loved both of these films. Hopefully the franchise will continue!
popcorn threshold. I was beginning to get so bored I was rooting for the rich folk.

Sized drink I like to get.
I asked for a "small."
"Would you like an upgrade to medium for 50-cents?"
"How many ounces if small?"
"32 ounces."
2 quarts of soda… small??
$11.75 for a medium soft drink and medium popcorn on Monday. I've just gotten immune to concession prices.
In 1968 I was a student worker at the Louisiana Dept of Revenue. I filed tax returns into folders. Real interesting huh? Being an accounting major I often looked at profit and loss statement attached to partnership returns. The owners of several of Baton Rouge's theaters (I believe they owned 3 of the 5 or 6 we had back then) filed as a partnership. Revenues were broken down between ticket receipts and concessions. Guess which was higher by nearly an order of magnitude? I can only imagine the disparity today.
FTR, even tho big BR was far from a booming metropolis, those theaters were knocked out gorgeous, all of em.

w/inflation (not to mention production prices…) so 'plexes have to make it somewhere. Same idea as restaurants: entrees haven't risen, much, but appetizers, desserts, and booze will kill you.
For six months, I worked at the Oregon Dept of Revenue! You can guess why it doesn't like using an acronym...

...unusual.
I can't watch a movie a the multiplex without a popcorn and drink.
It's part of the experience I enjoy as much as the film.
are 16-ounces.
Haven't compared popcorn sizes.
Anyhow, 90% of my attendance is at one of the six-screens of our local art film-plex. We're fortunate for a town this size to have an excellent resource like that, especially considering the art theater has been closing all over America for many years now.
...no Regals around here - just Cinemarks.
The 5 screen historic art film house Cinemadome was torn down a year ago to become Dick's Sporting Goods.
highest around the metro. Cinemark less so but no refills and Malco prices are in between with some refills. I get exasperated with Regal as it seems something has gone up $.25 or $.50 week. They even got stingy with their bonus points for a while. I have around 10,000. I live there.
...make all their money - the concessions.
Not on tickets because they pay a high film rental fee.
but has concession prices are as much as a dollar cheaper on the larger sizes. Six of one, half dozen . .
I find it more enticing to pay a higher ticket charge and see lower concession prices. Just my slant. I have noticed that Regal gives out less free concessions and MORE free tickets. I would rather get the free concessions and upgrade but obviously they find people are more likely to buy high-priced concessions if they walk in free.
