This is the best among the franchise, it's highly enjoyable and well made. The plot is so nice and tackles serious issues like racism, xenophobia and classism. The film also has some beautifully shot thrilling, brutal and action scenes.

IN A NUTSHELL: Blumhouse Productions presents another sequel to the creepy franchise, this time with a western vibe. The setting and background are certainly timely as it takes a look at the flood of illegal immigrants crossing the U. S. border and the violence that has been prevalent during the pandemic. While the franchise has always felt like pure fiction, this one actually feels more realistic as we realize the unbridled anger and frustration at "the system" could actually look like this in the extreme. That's true horror. This is the fifth and supposed final installment in this uber-violent franchise. In this story, all the rules are broken as a sect of lawless marauders decides that the annual Purge does not stop at daybreak and, instead, should never end. This is Everardo Gout's feature film directorial debut. He also produced the movie along with Michael Bay. THINGS I LIKED: Some people are saying this installment is the best in the entire franchise, but I actually got bored and annoyed at the same time. Our sweet nun from Nacho Libre, played by the lovely Ana de la Reguera, has two bloodbath movies out this year: ARMY OF THE DEAD and now this movie. The image of bullets as teeth on one of the masks is frightening and cool at the same time. The various masks are very creative and creepy. Fun fact: The actress Cassidy Freeman plays a pregnant woman in the movie. She wore a fake baby bump and often stashed snacks inside it during long hours of filming. The cast also includes Josh Lucas (I've always liked him), Tenoch Huerta, Leven Rambin, Will Patton, and Cassidy Freeman. THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: You need to have watched one of the prior movies in the series to understand what The Purge is all about. Many of the scenes occur at night, so the scenes are dark, making it difficult to see what's happening on small streaming devices. Super fake-looking blood and makeup. Most of the CGI looks terrible. Some of the set designs look like they were made by a high school drama club. There are some cringeworthy acting moments and extremely shallow characters. A lot of the action sequences are almost yawn-worthy. I hate the shaky-cam technique. It almost felt like a prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road Soooo many movie posters. Too many. The dialogue is pretty dumb. For example, one of the characters tells us the names of which firearms are being used whenever he hears them being used. The plot is almost nonexistent with tons of plot holes. I'm getting really tired of woke Hollywood telling me that all white people are evil and terrible and everyone else is morally superior. It's extremely anti-American, a disturbing trend I've been seeing more and more lately. The most dangerous aspect of this movie is knowing that there will be people who watch this film and think it's really cool and that they're justified to use violence to purge America from any of the injustices they see. TIPS FOR PARENTS: This is NOT appropriate for kids. TONS of violence with gory, brutal deaths High dead body count Various kinds of weapons There's a LOT of Spanish spoken with and without subtitles Some profanity in English and Spanish, including F-bombs You can see my full review on my Movie Review Mom YouTube channel!

For me this was a good Purge movie, not best not worst. A lot of things don't make sense, but it's entertaining, so I am very happy to overlook. For those that complain about politics: have you seen any of the other Purge movies? They always talk about the class divide or racism. They even made a trailer based on Trump's campaign. So what did you expect? Not to mention that there are white men that are good people in this, which seems to be why a certain....demographic is upset, so...chill, my dudes.

The worst that either franchise has to offer; mindless, poorly conceptualized, and lacking the pivotal component that makes up for either: entertainment.

If you're a raging liberal, you'll probably find this movie to be a powerful social commentary, and if you're a raging conservative, you'll probably find the subliminal messaging in this movie to be nauseating. Personally, I seek to be entertained by the thoughtfulness and originality of movies, but this is the fifth try at the same premise and it's truly worn out. I wish I could Purge it from my memory. Gave it a two because the last hour or so is non-stop action, but that can't redeem an otherwise senseless film.

When I saw the poster on an social app I thought it was a joke... wow milk trash more pls... Jesus hollywood is dead rip.

I wish I could write a better review, cause I fell asleep midway. Terrible. Even the action is boring. Absolutely no suspense. Didn't care for the western set up either. Oh well. If you're a true Purge fan, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Can't beat the first Purge. That's about it. If you need a good nap.. be my guest. Actually, you might like it if you're 12.

Worst film of the franchise. Acting was very subpar and the storyline was also subpar. Even though this movie is about an annual American event, not everything in the movie needs to be political. Save your time and money on this.
