American Sniper has been sitting on my desk since December, but rather than watch it at home, alone, I decided to venture to my local cinema to see it alongside my fellow gun-toting, red-blooded, Texan friends.

On the night of the annual purge, when all crime is legal for twelve hours, five people are stuck outside on the streets of Los Angeles. They must band together if they have any hopes of surviving the most dangerous night of the year. 2013’s The Purge had kind of an ingenious concept; what if, as a way to cleanse our systems, all crime was legal for one night?
