The Film Stage Jared Mobarak

Jul 1, 2021

With Native American activists (Zahn McClarnon), anti-Mexican cartel women vigilantes, and the eye-opening power of white guilt when indebted to someone for your life, The Forever Purge is erasing the line separating its high-concept fiction from the nation outside our window. This franchise has never looked quite so familiar. Read full review

The Forever Purge sometimes loses its focus, but at its best, it’s still a riveting, violent, disturbing projection of how far America could backslide into the nation’s worst impulses. Read full review

As a satirical demagogic action movie, The Forever Purge is blatant, bare-bones, and entertainingly brutal. Read full review

Eventually, the film morphs from a horror movie to a border shootout. It’s not a seamless transition. Read full review

The performances are better than the material deserves—particularly those of De la Reguera and Huerta, whose reactive closeups have a silent-movie expressiveness; and Lucas, who once again proves that he's willing to play deeply unlikable characters without signaling to the audience that he's a nice guy offscreen, actually.

The Forever Purge is at its best when it’s attempting to subvert the standard formula. Read full review

Anya Stanley

In The Forever Purge, we’re told a story that a battered nation has heard a lot—a sermon of immigration and class warfare that’s too heavy-handed to say anything its prospective audience hasn’t been told on countless social media feeds over the last few years. Read full review

For my surprise, I enjoyed this movie. For me, all the parts of Purge was average but not this one. The story wasn't new, the concept was copied from The Purge series: Season 2 but execution was in the way thay you will enjoy it.

Was the movie perfect? No. It had its problems but it didn't deserved so much negativity. Only giving negative reviews because movie was almost same story and policies is wrong. This franchise is meant for fun and they did bring something new.

Overall, I would recommend anyone to watch this movie, especially to those who love or have watched this franchise's other movies.… Expand

It was like the usual Purge series movies. I do enjoy them even though the premise is very silly, but also I do feel like they are just rehashing the old ideas and not bringing much new to it

If you tolerated the other Purge films then I’m sure you’ll enjoy this one. But for those of us who prefer films to have well-shot action, coherent plots, decent acting and non-preachy narratives, this is a pass.

Wow, there's actually 5 movies of this horse **** the first one was dumb enough in suggesting this could actually happen, but 5 of these now? I'm not sure if these are making us dumber, or the dumber we get the more we want these but it saddens me that theirs an audience for this.

Just terrible, filled to the absolute brim if you don't include the pool underneath with political bs and nothing even remotely scary of intense happening the whole movie. Just when you set in and start to think something good might happen it snaps you back to reality with some random bs. IJust terrible, filled to the absolute brim if you don't include the pool underneath with political bs and nothing even remotely scary of intense happening the whole movie. Just when you set in and start to think something good might happen it snaps you back to reality with some random bs. I don't even know why I bothered going back to the theater. Let Hollywood burn to the ground after drowning in their own woke garbage.… Expand
