The Purge: Election Year
Two years after choosing not to kill the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Leo Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlene Roan, the front runner in the next Presidential election due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. On the night of what should be the final Purge, a betrayal from within the government forces Barnes and Roan out onto the street where they must fight to survive the night.
Critics Sentiment
Massive shootout at fortified cathedral where NFFA plans sacrifice
Deli owner Joe Dixon discovers his Purge insurance premiums raised
The film jumps from routine setup involving insurance premiums to intense action once the group rescues Leo and Roan from the Russian murder tourists.
Election Year starts with effective backstory and political setup but suffers from predictable middle sections before building to its strongest sustained action sequences. Critics praised Frank Grillo's performance and the ensemble chemistry while noting the heavy-handed political messaging. The film succeeds as pulpy entertainment with social commentary, delivering the franchise's best action despite familiar plot beats.
