You can be a pissed-off Tea Partier or an Occupy advocate and find something here to stoke your fat cat hatred; either way, catharsis is doled out not in a dusk-til-dawn homicidal free-for all but two harmless hours in a theater.

This was definitely the best movie I've seen in a while it was worth the money. It was so good I will be seeing it again! If your're looking at other peoples reviews, **** that I'm telling you GO SEE IT! The first Purge movie was boring and I was hesitant to go so see this one but it was sooooo good, and I hope they make more movies for the series!

DeMonaco makes small choices I admire. For once, no woman gets threatened with rape. Instead, ladies seem to be the aggressors, and as we cruise the streets of D.C. we see wives stabbing and incinerating husbands, or dancing around a tree strung with male corpses.

If The Purge: Election Year is ultimately still engaging, it’s largely because of the irresistibility of the basic concept itself. But this new movie also makes a pretty good case for why the series should end here: Things have not only come to their logical conclusion, but you get the curious sense that the filmmakers have run out of ideas.

The film clearly wants to be more than just a run-of-the-mill horror-thriller but the allegorical aspects are half-baked and the attempts to mimic Kubrick’s "A Clockwork Orange" and "Eyes Wide Shut" feel more like campy satire than an homage.

After three disturbingly violent films, this may be a concept that deserves to be purged.

There's nothing specific, thoughtful or emotionally involving about Election Night beyond a basic need to push buttons, and get a rise out of viewers. The good guys are actually bad, and the bad guys are too indistinct to be hateful. Vote with your wallets, and go see something else.

This movie is not that far away from being realistic especially if you lived in the big cities of America after an election. Overall, the movie is decent, but it starts getting predictable as the film reaches its completion that you could just skip it and not missed much.

Not Quite As Good As 2
Election Year is still suspenseful most of the time, But it lacks some of the pros of it's predecessor.
