Being a fan of the Purge movies, I felt this movie fell short of my expectations.
The other Purge movies had political and social commentaries without being too overly blatant. The First Purge is just too obvious and dumb. To have militias dressed up as Klan members and Nazis is just almost bordering on parody. There were mixed social messages . For example , a drug dealer , who destroys his community and purges his competition , becomes the hero?
There were a few interesting scenes where participants were being psychologically evaluated. The action sequences were well shot. I actually cared about the lead female character who actually wanted to do the right thing. Unfortunately though, it wasn't enough for me. The Purge Anarchy is still my favorite one.
