It's like The Purge meets Red Dawn with all the violence, but none of the social commentary. It's pretty much a showcase of people shooting, blowing things up and trying to make sense of a new American Civil War. Yes, I have seen the enemy and it is us. Dave Bautista is badass, but bland for a leading man, while Brittany Snow is good at reacting to things and that's about it.

Even Lucy's sister Belinda (Angelic Zambrana) thought the neighbors were playing "Call of Duty" all the time.
It's only when Lucy is rescued by Stupe (Dave Bautista), a concierge with a …
