The Forever Purge

You start learning with francises either they get better,as new ideas & technology can emerge or you end up with a"milk the cow"syndrome.. Wasn't anything original or new here,unless the fact Purge night never ended.

It felt so politically based,it became rather annoying.. Refer back to The First Purge(2018)that carried a similar tone,about race & so forth.

Sure this movie had killings,gore & things but really that doesn't mean exactly much if the script or dialog fails.. A good movie with the right cast,director,location & storyline could be done about a bag.

Is it worth seeing? Sure. A popcorn flick to pass time,but don't expect a masterpiece.

Poor writting, mediocre direction and pretty lackluster performances attached to a film thats messages have all the subtly of a sledgehammer to the face make for a very poorly handled mess with more contrivances, coincidences and plotholes than you can count on both your hands. Add on to the fact it takes itself way too seriously. Much of the actiom is shakey cam and cuts away before you see anything too violent. The worst of a dying franchise.

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.

By no means the strongest purge movie but it sure does hold up well and is a good addition to the franchise. The cast did really well and I like the idea of people going against the idea of the purge only being one night a year as it adds suspension and makes you wonder if their will be another purge movie .

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.
