I love the Purge movies. I think they are so clever.
Senator Charlie Roan (Mitchell) is running for president against the NFAA (I don't know what that stands for). The main reason she is running is because her family was murdered on purge night 18 years ago and she wants this night gone. However, many like the purge and do not want to see it end. This year government officials are not exempted from purge night, which means purgers can target the senator, and they do. Leo Barnes (Grillo), her head of security, does everything in his power to protect her, because he too wants this night gone.
So this film to me has more of a purpose than the previous ones. The stakes are higher because if the senator dies, then the NFAA's nominee would win by default, and keep the purge alive.
In addition to higher stakes, they insert more realistic components, such as drones and murder tourism.
Like the others, there's murder, blood, masks, and more. It's just good. It'll keep you on edge with some light humor provided by Joe Dixon (Williamson), who is just trying to keep his deli from being looted. 5 popcorns.
