The Purge: Election Year Audience Reviews

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
fastpuppy This is a terrible movie that takes a funhouse mirror to the worst aspects of society.There isn't much redeeming about this movie but there are some good but intentionally over the top performances.
gwnightscream This 2016 thriller sequel stars Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell and Mykelti Williamson. This installment takes place 2 years after the events of the last film where ex-cop, Leo Barnes (Grillo) is now the head of security for a Senator, Charlie Roan (Mitchell) who is running for President. The night of the Purge, Roan is targeted for assassination because she intends to stop the tradition and Barnes protects her with help from shopkeeper, Joe Dixon (Williamson) and his friends. This is a good sequel with a decent cast and tense moments. I recommend this.
edrhaskel By far the stupidest movie I've ever walked out on. For anyone who watched this all the way through, you are idiots.
Fuego Johnson This is definitely a mediocre film at best, but despite the mostly poor acting and cliche script, I felt the need to actually watch the entire thing. Despite the aforementioned issues, this movie does have some redeeming qualities worth enduring through.The first big issue with "The Purge: Election Year" is the writing. The script is filled with cliches, some which were borrowed from the first film (I guess it is a sequel though, to be fair). While there are a few interesting characters, many of them seem very forced. Some unfortunately follow some pretty stereotypical archetypes (the store owner and clerk come to mind here) which end up hindering the overall experience. Beyond character development, the plot often feels pretty ludicrous. The concept of the film is very interesting in my opinion, but the scenarios presented seem contrived. Watch for yourself and see if you agree with me or not. The acting in this movie is decent overall, but many of the lesser roles were terrible. Some scenes were downright cringe worthy. The central cast does a pretty solid job, though, considering the script. I found myself invested in their story arc, even if some of the lesser actors failed to meet the performance of their peers. The primary redeeming qualities of this film seem to revolve around the concept and imagery. For whatever reason, the idea of a "purge" is a very creative and interesting concept for a film in my opinion, and the imagery that accompanies this fictional world is very interesting as well. Costumes, special effects and music were all done quite well in "The Purge: Election Year", are are a huge reason why this movie doesn't fail completely. Overall, this is a below average film. The concept is unique, but the overall execution leaves much to be desired. There are a few qualities that prevent this film from being downright terrible, but there are many other films I would watch before this one. If you're bored, check it out.
