La película buena, la trama es original, sin embargo pudieron explotar mejor los argumentos del inicio de la purga,el inicio y final muy bien, desarrollo algo lento hasta poder ver acción Así que un 7 es mas que suficiente

Believe it or not, this was actually a good film. Let me specify, a good popcorn film. If you are looking for a good time to kill 2 hours this movie is perfect for you, just don't expect anything more from the usual purge film.

This is definitely a movie you shouldn’t take seriously, none of these movies are anyways, but if your looking for a decent horror/thriller flick to watch during the summer I would give it a go or wait til it comes out and watch it digitally,This is definitely a movie you shouldn’t take seriously, none of these movies are anyways, but if your looking for a decent horror/thriller flick to watch during the summer I would give it a go or wait til it comes out and watch it digitally, otherwise this movie is definitely for the fans of the franchise!!… Expand

Reprehensible, socially irresponsible and racist to boot. It all adds up to a thoroughly compelling popcorn movie. Ain't human nature just swell!

This i my first Purge movie. (No pun intended). So, I can't rightly say whether this is just a pale retread of films two and three like others say. All I know is, I stepped into this knowing it wasn't going to be War and Peace, and I wasThis i my first Purge movie. (No pun intended). So, I can't rightly say whether this is just a pale retread of films two and three like others say. All I know is, I stepped into this knowing it wasn't going to be War and Peace, and I was entertained.

I really liked the visual style. There is a wide display of creatively creepy costumes. The camera work is pretty nice too. Glad to see a film taking place at night, where you can still see what is happening.

The movie is busily paced with a lot of characters and happenings. Kept things varied and interesting. As forced as the plot may be, you do get to feel for the characters.

Still, the dialogue could've been better at points. There are some very forced Trump references. The subplot with the government official and psychiatrist overlooking the Purge is by far the weakest, most poorly written part. The only saving grace in these scenes is Marisa Tomei, who manages to do a good performance despite rubbish dialogue.

Yeah, I know the whole concept is goofy, but if you like horror action, I think this is a serviceable time waster.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The First Purge this an enjoyable movie and purge movie ok so the problem with this movie is the story for the US it does not make sense of course one of the people for the purge took cops and the military army and try to kill our main character so Fu*** up like I feel like this movie did not have the story but Dmitri I really liked in this movie he saves this movie if that character was not good or interesting this probably be the worst purge movie but he is a great character be is kinda a civilian but if he gets messed with he will go after which made a lot of sense the kill are pretty cool the ending of the fight scenes down the stairs I loved that was such a good fight and a scene this movie to be is good if you are a fan of these movies if not do not check this out all round a movie that I enjoyed wish had entertaining characters and a legit story so all round I give The First Purge a B-… Expand
