’The Purge: Election Year’ Reviews: Political And Messy

'The Purge: Election Year' was a recently released film. It is an American social science fiction action horror film, written and directed by James DeMonaco. The film stars Frank Grillo and Elizabeth Mitchell.

'The Purge: Election Year' is a sequel to the 2014 'The Purge: Anarchy' and it is the third movie in the series. Recently premiered on July 1, it received mixed reviews from critics all over.

Director DeMonaco was described to have wielded his satirical ideas with recklessness when it comes to close combat and sniper shots. Set in Washington, D.C., he draws on the symbolic function of the state. "The soul of our entire country is at stake," declares Sen. Charlie Roan (played by Elizabeth Mitchell). Mitchell plays a presidential candidate who somewhat resembles Hillary Clinton. One thing is different between her and Clinton, she lost her entire family 18 years earlier in a murderous rampage.

It is as close to the current human mirror but with rage. Those who have seen the first two Purge movies knows that there will be a lot of fights. Rifle fights, machete fights and the power saw. The 2016 Purge movie was an upward trend compared to its 2014 predecessor. With Joe Dixon's antics as Mykelti Williamson, he sets off to protect his uninsured little business from girls gone wild.

According to critics, "'The Purge: Election Year' is never in danger of letting you confuse the haves with the have-nots." In this film murder seems to be the religion. The movie is complete with gun-loving Americans and God-fearing Americans.

With a budget of $10 million, the movie boasts of nightmarish murder. The one hour and 45 minute film is now showing in theaters.

"The Purge: Election Year" is Rated-R for disturbing violence and strong language.
