a5c7b9f00b America's third political party, the New Founding Fathers of America, comes to power and conducts an experiment: no laws for 12 hours on Staten Island. No one has to stay on the island, but $5,000 is given anyone who does.
It was an idea that writer/director James DeMonaco had back in 2013: What if there were a 12-hour period during the night, throughout America, at the start of spring, where everybody's pent-up anger could be released in a spree of looting, vandalism, rape, and mass murder? And what if it were the thing that kept crime and unemployment at bay for the other 364½ days of the year? DeMonaco referred to such an eventTHE PURGE, and it became one of the better horror films of 2013 in its original incarnation, where elements of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, STRAW DOGS, and NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD were combined into one very nightmarish brew. It was thus followed in 2014 by THE PURGE: ANARCHY, and in 2016 with THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR.<br/><br/>And in 2018, though he had ceded the director's chair to Gerald McMurray, the director of the disturbing but excellent 2013 film FRUITVALE STATION, DeMonaco still had his hand in with the screenplay for a "Purge" prequel, THE FIRST PURGE.<br/><br/>In this (loosely) fourth film it what has become an increasingly blood-and-profanity-soaked series, we are taken back to how the "Purge" phenomena got started in the first place, in 2021, a year before the events that we saw in the original (which was set in Los Angeles). It is intendedan experiment by a psychologist (Marisa Tomei) to be conducted in isolation on Staten Island, though funded by the National Founding Fathers of America (NFFA), the third political party that has arisen to do what they say neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can or will do-which, basically, is allegedly to bring back the American Dream, or whatever that used to be. ButTomei finds out to her horror, what was intended to be a release valve for people's anger is actually intended, according to the NFFA's chief spokesperson Arlo Sabian (Patch Darragh), to expunge "lower class" citizens (pretty much people can tell who those people are and what they look like) from the American landscape. When the Purge doesn't seem to have the intended effect that Tomei wanted, Darragh sends in a bunch of outsiders in KKK-type hoods and the familiar "Purge" masks to do the job.<br/><br/>Apart from Tomei, and the Staten Island drug kingpin portrayed by Steve Harris, THE FIRST PURGE doesn't have any recognizable faces, let alone the FBI agent portrayed by Frank Grillo in the previous two "Purge" films (he decided to sit this one out without DeMonaco in the director's chair). We do have a number of sympathetic Black and Hispanic characters in the film. We also have plenty of surveillance sequences from within the NFFA headquarters and out on the streets that,in the previous films of the series, hearken back to George Orwell's classic Dystopian novel "1984",wellTHE OSTERMAN WEEKEND and MINORITY REPORT. And, this being 2018 we're living in, the film is clearly and inevitably intendeda swipe at the White Nationalist movement fueled by the presidency of one Donald John Trump.<br/><br/>As a film, however, THE FIRST PURGE, like THE PURGE: ANARCHY and THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR, has fallen into a standard brew of over-the-top violence and profanity, gratuitous sex, and oftentimes overblown acting, partly due to McMurray's direction, but mostly due to DeMonaco having written the screenplay in a way to appeal to a typical 21st century summer horror and action film crowd. If the original 2013 film showed anything at all, it showed that films in the horror and/or action films didn't have to degenerate to that level.<br/><br/>I'm giving THE FIRST PURGE a '7' rating based on the original and sinister premise behind it, but it could have been so much more.
Loved the original Purge movie, but this one was just so horrible. Seriously… the big neighborhood drug dealer is the good guy hero ("Make way for the King!") and all the white people are bad & evil. I kept hoping I was wrong, but it just kept getting more and more obvious. What's the message here? Just a movie to feed the racial divide with stereotypes all over the place. Incredibly disappointing.
Boiling off the divisive political subtext and its associated sociological aspects, what we’re left with is an old-fashioned exploitation thriller. Seen in that context, The First Purge isn’t half-bad. It’s competently made, delivers its share of thrills and edge-of-the-seat moments, and gives the audience an opportunity to stand up and cheer.
