The first three Purge movies are fun and kind of bad but also interesting conceptually so I like them. My favorite part of this one is when the girls show up at Joe's deli in their Christmas light-wrapped, blasting Party in the USA and yelling about how they want candy bars. If I went purging, maybe I'd steal candy bars and listen to Miley too.
Too bad it's all downhill from here with First Purge and Forever Purge.

Two years after choosing not to kill the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Leo Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlene Roan, the front runner in the next Presidential election due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. On the night of what should be the final Purge, a betrayal from within the government forces Barnes and Roan out onto the street where they must fight to survive the night.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive survival thriller that escalates from political thriller to street-level action spectacle, fueled by righteous anger at systemic violence. It's a film that wants you to root for people fighting back against a rigged system.
