Alien at the Movies

Policeman-turned-vigilante Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) from "The Purge: Anarchy" is back but now he has been hired as head security officer for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), anti-Purge candidate running for President in 2025 dystopic America. Of course, Purge Night is the perfect opportunity for the opposition to come gunning for the Senator. This is quite a smart commentary on today's economic, social & political situation that has been adapted from the original Purge outrageous premise of annual 12 hours of crime without penalties. Don't worry if this is starting to sound too deep for you, there is still plenty of murder & mayhem for the bloodthirsty. Are you a conservative or a liberal? Is this 2025 election year an extreme exaggeration of our 2016 presidential race? Is this film's end a prediction for next November? Will there be a Purge 4? You'll just have to see this movie & decide for yourself.

Alien gives it 3 "Life imitating Art?" stars out of 4.
