The Purge: Election Year

2016 · 1h 49m · Action, Horror, Thriller

IMDb 6.0 Metacritic 55 RT 55%

Skip it unless you're a die-hard Purge franchise fan. This sequel leans too hard into clunky political messaging and loses the social commentary that made the first film sharp, leaving you with generic action-thriller beats and predictable plot twists that won't keep you engaged.

Plot

Two years after choosing not to kill the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Leo Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlene Roan, the front runner in the next Presidential election due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. On the night of what should be the final Purge, a betrayal from within the government forces Barnes and Roan out onto the street where they must fight to survive the night.

Director: James DeMonaco

Cast: Elizabeth Mitchell, Frank Grillo, Mykelti Williamson, Betty Gabriel, J. J. Soria
