Review of The Purge: Election Year (2016) by Skeptic303 — 27 Sep 2016
The Purge: Election Year boasts an astounding feat: a second sequel that is much better than the original movie. However, it doesn't mean it excuses itself from the seal of mediocrity.
While it's conflict is better developed, it's not as deep or as exploratory as it thinks it is. Furthermore, the characters have an okay motivation and are mainly one-dimensional and the plot, though engaging, takes quite a while before it starts kicking into full gear. Its script is just okay as well despite offering a few good dialogue exchanges.
It may have great thriller elements and promising potential, but Election Year mostly underutilizes those and doesn't work as well as it wants to. Therefore, it's just okay at best, nothing better, but nothing worse.
