The Big Finish
Innovative upon its release the Purge definitely was a fun concept enough to give audiences a thrill ride to witness horrific crimes being acted out because deep down everyone truly does have a demented side. Now it just seems like this premise is being beat to death with the release of this prequel to go along with a new mini series. The Purge Election Year focused on a corrupt government theme with The First Purge really ramping it up to another level delivering a more urban vibe then its predecessors. Monikers of political parties, the NRA and the KKK have a blatant presence as sources to create chaos. As an African-American this picture sheds a light on numerous conspiracy theories/concerns that is perceived throughout our race. Primarily providing easy access to liquor stores, drugs and guns to lower-income communities so that everybody can kill each other without higher forces having to step in and do it themselves. I can’t stress enough about how terribly the Purge movies have become at enticing violence for the sake of entertainment. I get the film industry is a huge business but with racial and political tensions rapidly increasing now is definitely not the right time for the release of the promotion of this kind of brutality. As much as I hate to admit with all that is going on in America some of the material that is utilized in this picture does not seem that inconceivable. The First Purge is definitely the worst out of the franchise that still continues to rake in which proves crime still and always pays.

Nice review! I loved the new faces we get in the film. Otherwise this movie was frustrating. I found it to be hypocritical and you touched on why. It seems to want to make a statement about hate-fueled violence but then numbly relishes in its depictions of it. And it has lost any sense of craftiness and subtlety in its messaging.

Exactly you can’t have it both ways with the violent aspect but for the sake of entertainment and making money this franchise continues to reach.

I’m starting to look at the Purge films the same way I looked at the Saw and Final Destination franchises — a sick sensationalization of pain and violence. Hollywood has used these types of films to target our subconscious for so long that we’re numb and susceptible to demonic images nowadays. I’ll pass on watching this, good review.

Wow sick sensationalism is the perfect term. Once these movies like Saw and Final Deetination make it to the 5th or 6th film it does begin to take a turn for the worst. And yes it is not worth a watch. Thanks for the read bro!
