The Purge: Election Year

It's a far better follow up to The Purge: Anarchy than Anarchy was a follow up to the original Purge. It's the same element of social science fiction action horror. It helps that Frank Grillo reprises his role from Anarchy, but it's a different story altogether.

A senator is running for president on the idea that she would fight to end the purge and her body guard, Leo Barnes believes in her cause. So when her enemies wish to use the purge to kill her, he puts his life on the line with the help of some citizens who also believe in her make sure the senator survives the night.

the combination of horror with the social commentary makes it scary. Adding to that, the movie is released in the year of the US's biggest election. It's an exaggerated reflection on society, but still its like looking into a mirror of what people would do if they could get away with it.

I felt the movie was pretty even on every side of what the purging does: the poor get eliminated, the rich get richer, and Election Year adds those who are poor who fight back and those who see it as a religious day.

My favorite was a group of girls that represent a generation who grew up just knowing twitter who live all year waiting to seek revenge on adults who they think make their lives horrible, and have fun unleashing their anger.

Election Year touches all emotions, it almost acts as my purge. It lays every thing on the line very real like.

Great action, socially scary and very funny. A must see.
