Rated MA
Score 2/6

All the rules are broken as a sect of lawless marauders decides that the annual Purge does not stop at daybreak and instead should never end.

For those of you playing along at home it seems that they are not completely done with this series not only because is there a fifth movie, but a sixth movie has been announced. Though there are some good points about this movie The Forever Purge is probably one of the least impressive of the Purge movies, this is because James DeMonaco was not in the director’s chair for this and 2018’s The First Purge and I was left feeling that when the sixth movie something amazing is needed to revitalise the franchise.
I wasn’t overly familiar with a lot of people cast in this, though there was one or two familiar faces and I thought it was the first time that I came across director Everardo Gout’s work though I am sure I may have come across his work at least once before. I was a little surprised to see Josh Lucas crop up in this, considering I have seen him mainly cast in romantic movies. I loved the moment that Will Patton as Caleb Tucker had with Will Brittain as Kirk. Though I have never came across Edward Gelhaus in before I loved the creepiness of his performance as a bald tattooed Nazi. I was disappointed that the death of Elijah “Alpha” Hardin shouldn’t have been as amusing as it was. For an action movie giving The Forever Purge a runtime of 1 hour and 43 minutes seemed a little overly indulgent especially considering that the pace of the movie seemed to be way to slow especially when the race to the border plot point was introduced to the movie. There was one moment where I kind of wished that I had the opportunity to watch this on a cinema sized screen that was when the group finally made it to the town of El Paso. The overall look of the town reminded me of how Downtown Los Angles looked in 1996 in Marco Brambilla’s 1993 movie Demolition Man.
