The first couple of Purge movies were okay, but this one is just God awful. The whole narrative isn't even about The Purge, it just becomes an "Us vs. Them" story where it's basically black people vs. white people/the government. The bad guys toward the end become white people, literally dressed in KKK robes (in NYC I believe, which would never happen in the first place) that are being paid by the government to kill black people. Then on top of it all, they make the rich drug dealer kingpin and his gang out to be the heroes of the whole story who saves the black community. Yeah, great message. This story is terrible and sends an awful message meant to incite hate and racism. To finish off my review, ignoring everything I just said... it's super f*cling boring. I had a hard time staying awake through the whole thing. Don't waste your time with this one.
