(+) Yeah! (+)

Seems like we are getting a lot of Purges nowadays, with this new entry in the Purge series upping the stakes. Here is my review.

So the idea of The Purge is that 1 day a year, all crime is legal. When the concept first came out everyone was curious about what that would be like, but let's be real, it was obviously always a bad idea and the more you think about it the less sense it makes. Subsequent Purge films tried to remain relevant through political takes and this one is no exception.

Forever Purge knows you've been through all this before if you're still with them in the year 2021, waiting for the nightmare to finally be over, but you keep coming back anyway. The standard Purge has lost its fear factor and everyone knows the game now, they barricade themselves in and ride it out fine. Here comes the new threat: Purge enthusiasts decide to strike the day AFTER the Purge and keep it going forever, hence the title. Longer purges to "purify" the country take place and the bad guys are going after anyone who doesn't think or look like them. The only solution for the protagonists/heroes is to flee the country entirely and watch everything they left behind burn from across the border.

The rest of the story is standard action-y suspense-y and if you're a Purge regular you know how it goes by now, it's just a sad situation. I give it a 6/10 and a meh, maybe it's time for the Purges to end.
