The Forever Purge

By no means does is this the best in the franchise I'd rank it behind the first and anarchy.

People are talking about how political the film is but that's what this series is about.

For starters this film is unique in the series it strives away from the classic trope of purge night and makes it last over a few days.

It also is set in Texas with a Midwestern feel which honestly I welcomed it's a great setting for this film to occur.

The cinematography in this film is actually really good and doesn't feel as basic as other entries in the franchise All around it's worth a watch for just something different it's breathes new life into a franchise that was sadly dying by retreading the story each entry and it tries something different which I think is an excellent choice.

The other Purge films are escapist horror fantasy, this one just decides to reflect the present reality that awaits outside.

I think you know going into a purge film what to expect but this film did it better than I expected it to.

There was plenty of the usual action but with plenty twists and turns and a perfect pace.

Well worth a watch if this is your sort of thing.

After the last couple purge films started to decline in quality I really thought this was going to be another rehash of the last few, but I was pleasantly surprised by it. The first 30 mins were dreadful in all fairness, I was genuinely cringing at some of the acting and camera work. It slowly started to pick up as the movie got into the purge and got past all the character set up, although this is definitely not the most action packed purge film, it's definitely the most political and it really has it messages about race and class, like most of the films it really goes into detail and shows some people who are effected by these things. I like that this movie has a western vibe to it and it makes the purge setting feel more fresh and new. Some of the action scenes are beautifully shot with nice swooping shots of the carnage unfolding in the towns, and then there are some of the close up action shots, and they are just awful! Terrible shaky camera work which makes it almost impossible to see what is going on and it really ruins the feel of the film as the purge is normally really good with its action. The two female characters might be some of the worst actors I've seen in a while, both wooden and boring with no passion in their performances at all, compared to the rest of the cast they really stood out as the worst. I really did enjoy this movie, it really is just a rollercoaster of emotions all the way through and if it wasn't for a few of these issues I think this could be one of the best purge films. But please for the love of god, end this series now! We've seen enough of it and I genuinely don't know where they can even go with it now, I just hope it finishes up now because I'm just getting bored of seeing these films now. Not too bad to be fair, worth a watch.

This is much better than I expected. It is very intense, and it's also intensely distributing. I find myself very involved with the story and the fate of the characters.
