Set a few years after the end of The Purge Anarchy Frank Grillo returns as Leo Barnes
who has kind of turned his life around after forgiving the person that killed his family or something
or other at the end of Anarch and has now become the head of security for up-and-coming
senator and presidential candidate Charlie Roan who herself has a history with
the purge she was the only member of her family left standing after somebody
Purged her family and she has a mission and her mission is fairly simple
to eradicate the purge to wipe it out she sees it for the archaic thing that it is
It keeps the poor poorer it wipes them out you know when they're getting over populated the
poor it wipes them out and it keeps the rich, rich the founding fathers the
people started the purge the richest people in the planet the one-percent
decide that she's getting a little bit too close to winning this presidential
race so they decide to wipe out the law that keeps anybody safe particularly
the the high level politicians during the purge night so everybody's fair game
in the chance that somebody may take out this senator which you know
definitely happens I was quite excited about the purge 3, I kinda enjoyed the first one
I thought the second one was I step above really fantastic and bought some social
economics into the actual story line itself
I feel this one goes a little bit further with that but not In a wholly good way
the clear divides between the the good people and the bad people are
quite you know apparent you have the the rich white men with servants their houses you have
the black people who are just struggling to survive in the day to day grind of a normal business
now Leo Barnes knows not to trust anybody especially in this nights of nights so
he's already got a game plan in place in case things go awry and they do go awry
but he ends up getting shot in the process In escaping with Charlie he ends up
bumping into this group of people who lead them to or an almost kind of
resistance to tell you anymore would kinda waist most of the movie for you and I don't
want to do that because it as an enjoyable film but I feel that it kinda
retreads some of the themes that were explored in anarchy and it doesn't
really build on them too much in fact it ties them to an almost stereotypical
fashion or I at least thought that anyway it is very much black and white bad guys are bad the good guys
are good and just try surviving this hostile world but lets get into the
purge itself one of the most distinctive things about the purge is the
masks the people in the way they look and feel and it's even more apparent in
this one it touches on people doing murder holidays as well people coming from
other countries to you knowkill people and it's got this group of South African people
to come over and dress up like dead presidents or in typical USA garb
just so they can go about killing people and some of it is really spooky and
twisted and just gnarly looking then you get some other awesome sights of a car
thats just covered in all these lights its strange to describe but it's
awesome to look at just pilling down an empty road as these girls pile out
carrying AK47's gold plated ones at that because you know you've got to
accessories in the right way the one thing that the purge does do, is it does have
excessive violence and when the violence erupts its not clean quick it is explosive and
bloody it's deadly I mean there's a Guillotine in an alleyway at some point
who the hell has a Guillotine nowadays huh, nobody
it's just silly it's taking things to the extreme and i feel that its back peddled
on the real good will that it built up in the purge 2 Anarchy That's not to say that
election year is the a bad movie is not it's just a little bit more simplified than i would have
liked it to be and it could move on to some tough subjects that it just doesn't
quite grasp i really liked the purge it was an enjoyable action thriller i may
not go back to that as much as i go back to a Anarchy but it's still worth your time
I'm going to give The Purge Election Year 3 out of 5 worth your time it's a good nights
entertainment but it's not really got much more than that even though it
