The Purge: Election Year
It has been tradition since 2012 to get a new Purge movie every two years and this year is no different. Writer/director James DeMonaco delivers the best one in the series.
After the events of the last purge, Seargent (Frank Grillo) moves his life to Washington D.C., where he is head of security for presidential hopeful, Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell). Her platform is to get rid of the Purge because of who it targets. There are people in political office who do not like this.
This movie builds on what the second one had, with the start of the revolution, and how the poor were the ones that were suffering. The next logical step was to take it to: the government level. Making government corruption was a risky move that, I believe, pays off.
In the end, yes, it is an action movie, but with its heavy political tones, it makes it compelling.
GRADE: C+
