Unfortunately the characters are so poorly written that the political provocations hang in the air like birthday balloons.

It's efficiently done. It's quite grueling. And what I like about it is that central idea... It's solid.

The Purge films are B-movies, and so this ultraviolence mostly works, though its social commentary is served a little too rare to stomach easily.

I could turn my brain off in the beginning, but I felt like a mindless zombie halfway throughout the movie. Nothing really resonated with me.
