Jesk P very predictable, from the beginning you know what is going to happen. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Christian J Best movie in The Purge franchise. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Nawt W If you're one of the rare people who genuinely enjoy this series and its setting, then this is where you should stop. Because what comes after Election Year is a crazy and furious ride that completely demolishes its weak world-building, creating a power fantasy for for minorities. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Dan R One of my favourite genres of films are those that look into dystopian worlds and futures. Recently I realised I'd never seen all of the films within 'The Purge' franchise, so with that in mind I decided to check into the bloody and unforgiving universe that these films live in. In chronological order within the universe: 'The First Purge' (2018) This film sets out how the Founding Fathers took control of America and their implementation of the first Purge in the small, impoverished, area of Staten Island. The true reasons behind The Purge are revealed here and it's a lot darker than we'd ever expect. This information serves us well for the rest of the franchise. (8/10) 'The Purge' (2013) The original film feels a lot smaller in scale as it takes place within one household rather than a sprawling city scape. However, this is probably the best acted film within the franchise with Ethan Hawke putting in an exceptional performance. You'll probably never look at your neighbours the same way again after this. (8/10) 'The Purge: Anarchy' (2014) Anarchy by name and it's anarchy by nature as Frank Grillo's character heads out for revenge on Purge night, but gets caught up in something more visceral. This film drives the franchise forward and sets up characters and scenarios that'll appear later in this universe. (7/10) 'The Purge: Election Year' (2016) Grillo's character returns but this time as a secret service agent who's assigned the task of keeping a Presidential candidate alive during The Purge. The corruption of the Government is revealed as they change the rules of The Purge so they can remain in power. It's an intriguing look at how power corrupts absolutely. It's a bloody escapade of survival and redemption. (8/10) 'The Forever Purge' (2021) This film shows America in complete chaos after 8 Purge free years, but with The Purge now returning after an election win for the Founding Fathers. As The Purge ends people rebel and act against immigrants and the rich. 'The Forever Purge' really highlights societal issues going on presently in America. The film's strengths really stand in its strong cast and a visceral rip-roarer of a story. It's a great way to end the franchise even though it appears we'll now get further films. (8/10) Overall this is a great franchise which also spawned an Amazon Prime TV series. It's certainly a universe I'd like to see more of in the future. It's very raw in its vision, delivery and philosophy. Make it happen Hollywood. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/06/24 Full Review TikTok M Instead of just saying youre socially critical from the start on, you could just SHOW that. Let the viewer think and dont blutly explain every possible thing. The outcome and story were clear from the start. Nothing rlly exciting just pure boring gore packed in a supposedly deep concept. And the character were annoying as well, the politican aka main character could be reasonable but is just against anything and says it out loudly all the effing time. Like come ooonn its annoying to listen to her opposing. It could be an awesome movie but instead its just meh Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/24 Full Review Calvin T And people are actually entertained Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/24 Full Review Read all reviews
