"The Purge: Election Year" is a scurrilously effective pop rabble-rouser - a movie that's been built to get you riled, and does,” praises Owen Gleiberman of Variety.
En route to its worldwide debut July 6, Universal Pictures' suspense thriller “The Purge: Election Year” has amassed a slew of positive reviews from influential critics, underlining the film's provocative themes and entertainment value.
“It's nice to see an action movie take more than a passing interest in where America is at the moment, and then exaggerating that moment into the realm of shrewd exploitation,” writes Michael Phillips of The Washington Post.
