The Purge: Election Year
Helpless charlie Roan watched her family murdered in cold bold. The annual purge was a tradition, and its victims rarely escape. Roan has got a presidential slot. Is it time to end this rather annual psychopathic blood lust or revenge.

The Purge: Election Year definitely aims higher than its predecessors but ultimately becomes too weighed down by its nonsensical premise and over-enthusiastic political commentary to be anything close to insightful or scary.

The action is largely routine and the dialogue rarely more than functional, but DeMonaco, marshalling the franchise's best production values yet, shrewdly taps into the angry zeitgeist.

Mostly it's more of the same from this stalled series. It's time someone purges "The Purge."

The most interesting of the Purge movies to date, though Anarchy's social satire was far less muddled.

The problem with this film is that it's halfway between the action and a heavy reflection that, despite the solemnity, is still innocent. [Full review in Spanish]

Like most "exploitation movies," the "Purge" franchise is deeply moralistic at heart.

The Purge: Election Year represents writer/director James DeMonaco's attempt to squeeze one more movie out of a premise that has run dry.

The clichés weigh things down as it becomes a rescue mission movie in the final act.

It would be one thing to bait the viewer's blood lust and then punish them for it. But the films command an audience that's enchanted by its displays of blood-drenched yahoos in kooky masks satisfying their barely repressed psychopathy.

While I may question the logic from time to time in writer-director James DeMonaco's latest film, I found the overall story surprisingly clear, balanced and even symmetrical.

The writer/director has a lot to say, but this neo-grindhouse framework isn't built for complexity. Still, the film is just bonkers enough to work.
