Movie Review For The First Purge 2018
This is my review on The First Purge movie
No.24 Cinema
About the movie:
After the rise of a third political party, the New Founding Fathers of America, an experiment is conducted, no laws for 12 hours on Staten Island. No one must stay during the experiment yet there is $5,000 for anyone who does.
Overall:
Had everything to make this an epic Purge movie but unfortunately this did not make the grade, I’m a big fan of the Purge franchise and have had many conversations with people on how I’d like to see it go and what should happen, for me The Purge was really good, The Purge: Anarchy was excellent, The Purge: Election Year was good but this new one just didn’t live up to my expectations.
The story is ok with some good action and some cool kills but it has lost its Purge DNA and ended up like an bad 80’s action movie that’s trying to be a across between The Raid, Malcom X and Die Hard.
I’d of much preferred to see some raw random purging from from average Joe Bloggs that’s had enough with he’s day to day life or John from round the corner that’s sick of he’s boss all linked by a news crew or someone that wakes up from a night partying. They should of kept it more like the second Purge just without the government getting involved.
Verdict: It could of been better 
Review: 2.5/5
Fun facts: The poster for the new Halloween (2018) film can be seen in Isaiah’s room. Blumhouse Production Company is behind both the new Halloween film and The Purge films.
