The Purge: Election Year (2016)

The lukewarm film series continues with it's new third entry that is another slight improvement over the previous two films but still nothing great. The story is pretty run of the mill but enjoyable enough and the acting is pretty decent, what brings the film is up though is the little details inhabiting the film's reality, like seeing how different people act on Purge night. Those details always seem to be the most interesting aspect of these films and they are especially intriguing here, its just a shame that the main story and characters don't have the same level of engagement or interest. It does have a nice amount of action though with lots of people getting shot up which is kind of fun. The series is definitely improving bit by bit with every film, so if it continues we may actually get a masterpiece by the 10th film. So all in all this is a pretty decent thriller that deals with timely themes (albeit in a superficial way) and has enough there to keep you entertained for it's run time, nothing outstanding but its fine for what it is. ***
