Good movie. Wrong Title. Wrong release order.

Rating: 8/10 (29 June 2019)

This could've been a short film or a special addition to the main franchise, which could've been released later, to show a more close up of the unfolding of events from a perspective of specific target individuals. The main concept of purging was never fully explored throughout the movie, which would've done the title justice. It was only talk-talk on media & no walk-walk on screen. To introduce the concept of the brutal & chaotic purging, this was a horrible choice to go with. It kinda toned it down to become as a basic slasher movie & tried to wrongly assure that everything's okay in the end. It didn't feel dystopian at all. Anyway, I somewhat loved the movie as a whole, it was gripping, especially the last 25 minutes, but don't call it "The Purge", not this movie at least, & definitely not in this release order. They should've shown several families, several people affected; & in that regard it's a wasted opportunity to begin with, or just a horrible mistitle.
