Supposedly Election Year is pretty good, but I haven't bothered with *any* of them so far. Election Year is the only one I want to watch.

The concept doesnt even make sense. Why would a night no laws make people docile? If anything it would make everyone far more violent. And the film only focuses on violent crimes but there would also be rapists and pedos running around trying to take adantage of it too.

This.

The purge is a good concept with terrible execution. There is no explained reason why crime is almost 0 because people go on a murder spree once a day a year, and that fact that it does work means the society in which the purge takes place consists of mostly psychopaths with a need to mass murder innocents anyway. The movie plays it off as a conspiracy by the rich, but as I said earlier, the fact that the purge works at all means there was already something deeply wrong with the people of that society.

Yeah, it doesn't work for any number of reasons.
