The First Purge (2018)
To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Boring
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Just to start with, I absolutely despise this franchise. Only watched the first movie, and I couldn't even finish it, it was so bland and predictable and plain bad. But I saw the trailer for The First Purge and somehow decided that it might be a decent horror/drama, with some sociopolitical elements. The trailer turned out to be about much better than the movie.. There is no coherent plot, the acting is wooden and stereotypical, and like in all cheap trash horror movies out there, there is no common sense or logic. I don't want to focus on the negatives, as there are so many of them. It could have been good. They just needed to add a few subplots, some logic and development and to leave the gore and horror, but make it a bit more realistic and believable, so that the idea of class struggle and the politicians against the people is plausible. Instead it looks like a parody, and that is before the Dmitri starts acting like a black Rambo and the white guys are all bad and wearing Nazi uniforms. The last 20 mins of the movie me and my friends, and the majority of the movie theatre couldn't hold in the laughter, that's how ridiculous was everything. 6/10, only because I tried hard to enjoy it, otherwise it is 4-5.
Simply the whole neighborhood would have gone to spend the night somewhere else, be it a hotel or a park. The argument is as stupid as possible and the performances are so caricatured, instead of exploring the psychological research to create the purge, only shows violence that doesn't add anything to the franchise that the others films had already shown
It was horrendous attempt to make money on it !! It was dull , and unimaginative .. and that from a person who generally don't watch horror movies and jumps out of chair if some one comes around a corner .. sorry but if we compare election year and this .. then this one should get Oscar for worst movie made this year .. congratulations ! You won !
In the world today, where we have a lot of hate racial tension and just total chaos. Why in the world with somebody make a movie of this genre? Grant you when I first heard about this movie I thought oh cool movie! But this is nothing more than a racist based hate movie which has signs of the Ku Klux Klan other factors against minorities. Now I myself do not endorse movies like this nor do I even watch him. But this movie was so bad worse than a B rated Movie, I decide to sit through it. But if I have to do it again I would not of wasted my time. But luckily I didn't pay to see this movie so I am consider myself lucky. With the world the way it is and all the hate in racial tension why would anybody make a movie like this? It makes me sad with despair why people would even think about Making of this. It's not only depressing but racially hatred completely directed towards minorities. Why why why would anybody create such a piece of him reading garbage. Now if you enjoyed the movie wonderful. But those who are sensitive to issues like this and those who hate out right racially driven garbage. It's totally depressing.
