'The Purge: Election Year' : Not your daddy's purge . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka (A) on July 2, 2016 at 11:31:56

Normally, 'The Purge' series is about new and imaginative ways of killing people. Always a gas to see who and how someone is going to get it. We know the New Founding Fathers set it up to cleanse the streets of violent people, etc.

This film has gone political, full-on political correctness. This purge is about "angry, old, white, rich people" eliminating the welfare system through the wholesale killing of blacks, browns, and anybody poor. That is the main theme that is carried throughout film. We have a presidential candidate who (Elizabeth Mitchell) runs on a platform of NO purge while the NFF's have their own candidate who wants to double-down.

This Purge is the same quality as before but lacking the same hectic pace as its predecessors. Grillo is the Mitchell's head of security and has to battle off "inside job" guys, white power paramilitary assassins, and angry young black girls who want their candy bar.

To my taste, this was completely ruined by the steroidal injection of political correctness and anti-establishment overtone. Stop with the social engineering already!

Bring back the old Purges with non-stop crazy.

I just heard this film had a budget of just $10M and made $3M on Friday. I guess it is a good return on investment. I wonder what these actors are being paid?

Skip it.
