Absolutely Fantastic
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
This is a terrible movie that takes a funhouse mirror to the worst aspects of society.There isn't much redeeming about this movie but there are some good but intentionally over the top performances.
This is definitely a mediocre film at best, but despite the mostly poor acting and cliche script, I felt the need to actually watch the entire thing. Despite the aforementioned issues, this movie does have some redeeming qualities worth enduring through.The first big issue with "The Purge: Election Year" is the writing. The script is filled with cliches, some which were borrowed from the first film (I guess it is a sequel though, to be fair). While there are a few interesting characters, many of them seem very forced. Some unfortunately follow some pretty stereotypical archetypes (the store owner and clerk come to mind here) which end up hindering the overall experience. Beyond character development, the plot often feels pretty ludicrous. The concept of the film is very interesting in my opinion, but the scenarios presented seem contrived. Watch for yourself and see if you agree with me or not. The acting in this movie is decent overall, but many of the lesser roles were terrible. Some scenes were downright cringe worthy. The central cast does a pretty solid job, though, considering the script. I found myself invested in their story arc, even if some of the lesser actors failed to meet the performance of their peers. The primary redeeming qualities of this film seem to revolve around the concept and imagery. For whatever reason, the idea of a "purge" is a very creative and interesting concept for a film in my opinion, and the imagery that accompanies this fictional world is very interesting as well. Costumes, special effects and music were all done quite well in "The Purge: Election Year", are are a huge reason why this movie doesn't fail completely. Overall, this is a below average film. The concept is unique, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired. There are a few qualities that prevent this film from being downright terrible, but there are many other films I would watch before this one. If you're bored, check it out.
If you set aside some of the problems with this film, the chance of violence and excellent political message with this film is actually possible.Recommended viewing. This film is no less bloody than our Civil War. Thought I'd hate it as mindless violence.The U.S. is about to implode with violence if the political insanity continues. I could see another civil war on the way, but with no borders.
This should be a disappointment for most fans of the previous two Purge installments, but should not necessarily be avoided.As we watch the characters, familiar and unfamiliar, survive the night, you'll see the expected that all Purge-ians look forward to: violence, death, tension, crazies, drama, scares, and developments in the Purge story. The quality of each however is not all the same. The story and new perspectives is fun, and it makes sense there would be a group and a few individuals fighting against the Purge, and that those running the show of the Purge do not appreciate their efforts. So tensions rise, violence ensues, and morals are tested as usual. It all falls so short of the other two movies though.The biggest issue I had was that the movie tried WAY too hard. The group of rebellious adolescents were extra rebellious, the crazies were obnoxiously crazy, the evil nature of the politicians and religious leaders are beyond the threshold of plausible evilness, the token black role was annoyingly racist, in fact most of the characters and acting was annoying and preachy. Worth viewing once. Especially for Purge fans. That's about it.Hope they up their game for future sequels/prequels.
