Knowing what comes next, makes it to where their fight was almost pointless. See more Mike H Aug 22 My favorite the purge movie!! See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 15 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more D P Jun 18 2018? I don't remember this. Anyway, it's on Tubi now. I enjoyed it. I actually think this is what a real Purge would look like-- people trying to steal money and party in the streets, maybe a few pranks. I don't think most people want to go on killing sprees. But it makes sense that certain people would want to see this happen to poor people. They're on the internet now saying they want certain people to go extinct. Just evil. These people would be outnumbered by the sane masses, though... for now. This is what I would expect from a Purge movie, though. This series tends to do racial divisions, so it's par for the course. Not a bad movie night on the sofa. See more Blu B May 16 Compared to the first one it does a better job exploring the political aspects of the purge which are honestly the best parts about it. It's a shame that it doesn't consistently do it. A poltically charged horror franchise would be very unique. This however just doesn't know how to do it consistently through the runtime. On top of that the editing and pacing are terrible here. This has such a nasty tone problem. It can't decide if it wants to be a horror movie, a political thriller, or a straight action movie. The tone changes multiple times and the multiple storylines feel pointless until the very end when they all come together. This jumps around terribly most of the time with pointless subplots while the purge is going on. It's not incoherent but it just feels pointless and it can get soooo boring at first. It builds up tension pretty well with the intial setup but than everyone is just kind of chilling and not much is happening and were vibing. Problem is itcompleely wastes all the suspense built up and than jumping around with pointless subplots and the tone problem. The music is boring, generic, and forgettable. The cinematography isn't good. It's dull to look at lots of times because it's dark and lifeless. Than there are just DUMB scene where the characters make stupid choices or things happen that are so farfetched. Not withstanding like regular folks taking down a whole platoon of armed mercenaries with military grade gear and with a homeless crazy dude. The acting is ok and probably the best thing here. I actually liked a couple of the characters but again it's so jumpy we never really get to spend a lot of time on them consistently and it just uses them in stupid ways. The homeless psycho guy is so stupid as well. And the biggest sin? It's just repeating the exact same plot of the other entries. Sure it goes a bit more into the origins but it's done so poorly that it basically only touches on it in the same way the others did. So it ends up being the exact same thing in a back of the envelope way. Skip This. Honestly this whole series needs like a soft reboot of some kind because there is so much potential but it's just wasted constantly. See more Read all reviews
