To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Disgusting amounts of racism. The entire movie portrays white people as killers, Nazis, and politicians. And black people as 'the saviour's of the community' and a gross romanticsised view of gangs. Pay attention, you won't see one white person portrayed as helping the community, and you won't see one black person working with the government. I also was disappointed at the amount of gorr or scare. I have seen a lot of shit, and this movie's darkest moments were absolutely basic and boring. An entire island can do anything they want, they wouldn't be nice. Society is far more degraded than this movie portrays, which disappointed me. I was expecting to see some realism, but experienced none of it.

Another year, another Purge movie, another missed opportunity. In short, this, like every other Purge movie before it, lacks in violence & gore, has cheap visual effects and has a stupid, poorly written script. The script is basically the same as all other Purge movies and completely fails to entice the audience. It misses all opportunity to go all-out on the violence, lacks character development and just follows it’s cookie cutter format: [spoiler]people that shouldn’t be out on purge night are and need to be saved.[/spoiler] It tries to convey a social message but does it so clumsily that it fails it in that miserably too. Seriously, this franchise either needs to ramp up and decide it wants to be a hardcore gore/horror movie (for which it’s premise should be perfectly suited, but let’s be honest; it won’t do that because it won’t attract the general public) or get purged from cinemas itself.

If you are looking for a movie that pushes a racist agenda, this is your movie.

It's got action, violence and the usual story line. Just a shame they don't make it an 18 rating and make it really gory!

_The Purge_ has come a long way since its inception. Originally used as nothing more than an excuse to explain away "Why don't they just call the cops?" in your average home-invasion movie, the original _Purge_ movie had implied classism for the meat of it, and then an actual call to class division More
