a5c7b9f00b It&#39;s been seventeen years since Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now servinghead of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), his mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay alive until dawn…or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state. Former Police Sergeant Barnes becomes head of security for Senator Charlie Roan, a Presidential candidate targeted for death on Purge night due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. This has to be the worst franchise I&#39;ve ever watched. The Purge was such garbage, that in comparison, The Purge: Anarchy was a masterpiece… And now this filth.<br/><br/>This franchise is a relentless carbon copy of itself, and it started out boringit is… So, 3 movies in of the same nonsensical jibber jabber (Anarchy brought it back a little bit) is turning out to be quite excruciating on my electricity bill, time, eyes and memory.<br/><br/>I love Frank Grillo, and he really was the saving grace of The Purge: Anarchy… But in this movie, we&#39;re literally watching an inferior version of him when he was in Anarchy, while re-watching a subservient version of Anarchy.<br/><br/>And, isn&#39;t this supposed to be set 18 years later?! If so, why is Leo and The Homeless Guy/Bishop, still the same age? And what was the Minister on about in the church (I heard what he was saying, but what the hell)? And why did his &quot;congregation&quot; look like zombies? Then that girl and her candy? Purge tourism? And Leo used a bomb to kill, isn&#39;t that not allowed?<br/><br/>This junk was boring, repetitive, empty and dense, a trademark that this series carries with great pride it seems. Anarchy was better than The Purge because of how terrible The Purge was, and this movie is far lower ranking than Anarchy, but not much better than The Purge, because this franchise at its core, is hollow, wasted and inherently bad.<br/><br/>This movie should&#39;ve been The Purge: Rejection Year… Sadly, it was a Box Office smash, so… The Purge 4, 5, 6, 7, 8000, here we go, I mean, here we repeat again.<br/><br/>3/10. As a big fan of the Purge franchise, I believe this edition, Purge the Election year, was the best movie out of the first three so far. The ending to the first and the second were extremely predictable and that makes the movie not really completea whole. I also enjoyed how in this edition, there was more than just one story. There was two different stories throughout the plot of the movie, one with Leo and the Senator, and another with Joe and Marcos. This caused the movie to not dragmuch,there was always something important going on. The aspect that I was impressed with the most was that this movie had the best horror personality to it. There was a feel of destruction and rage, something that I feel was missing in the first two. Overall, this was a great movie. The film’s comical bluntness could also be construedoff putting, but to criticize that is to deprive yourself the joy of such pulp. And this is pulp, from the brazenness of its violence to the dull bite of its clunky dialogue. What Election Year offers isn’t nuanced satire, but rather a kind of catharsis, a release that’s not so far off from what the Purge itself purports to provide.
