The Purge Election Year
Election Year is an interesting installment of The Purge franchise.
When I had first seen it, I didn’t like it. It felt over the top like it was too much. This time, it was a different experience.
Election Year is the culmination of the themes that was presented in The First Purge and The Purge. It was the natural conclusion.
We see Frank Grillo return as Leo. Years have passed since we had see him last in Anarchy. He is definitely a changed man as he is head of security for a Senator. He believes in the Senator who is trying to change the system and have Purge Night disbanded.
The Senator is such a threat that The New Founding Fathers seek to stop her as she could become the next president.
This is the story as in this installment we are treated to an all out war between The Resistance and The New Founding Fathers for America.
Honestly at certain parts, this felt very much like Die Hard in The Purge universe. And that’s what helped make this installment pretty enjoyable.
We are also treated to Edwin Hodges returning in a much larger role than the previous two films. He is the voice of The Resistance. And over the course of the film we are treated to seeing that spark of hope reignited as he helps the Senator.
The action seemed bigger but also bit scaled back. It felt like the action was a mash of The Purge and Anarchys action.
Rating: 4 out of 5.
I recommend watching in chronological order.
