The Gist: The opposition against the Purge is growing and a leading candidate for President has promised its repeal, if elected. This makes her a clear threat to the new order and a primary target on Purge night.Frank Grillo is back as head of security for presidential candidate Elizabeth Mitchell, two good actors who readily elevate the third chapter in the rather successful Purge franchise.
This time the stakes are actually higher because the dark forces behind the Purge are exposed and threatened. We also see how the infamous night has taken on a sort of religious fervor that borders on cultish among the elites.
The Bottom Line: I have to admit that I’ve come to really like the Purge franchise, in a guilty pleasure sort of way. Each chapter delivers a good amount of terror for the fans of the genre and the political/ethical/moral messages behind them certainly push one to think about the possibilities. Given the unthinkable age we live in, as far as the current occupant of the White House goes, and mass shootings becoming routine, could something like this not ever become reality?
