Review of The Purge: Election Year (2016) by Jacob S — 30 Jun 2016

There is an enough B movie fun in this film to prevent it from being a total failure. But the fact that a soulless action movie tries to make a political statement by playing the rich vs the poor not only hurts the film sense of realism but takes away from the action that many were expecting.

The Purge: Election Year closes the door on what could have been a decent trilogy; instead it becomes a series of clunkers with a gem squeezed in the middle.
