Mitchell (Dead of Summer) is a Senator running for office. The night before The Purge it is announced that as opposed to the past no one is exempt like government officials - this is a way the white, male, wealthy majority can get rid of Mitchell who wants to end The Purge. She lost her entire family to it and after the last movie showed that the government was sending mercenaries and troops out to purge the poor, mostly black, population she gets a lot of support. Her team of good guys has Williamson (Underground), Soria (Crank), and Grillo (Wheelman) as you can see from the previews. It isn't as horrific as the other two. The horror scenes are scattered and don't last long. It's mostly about race and politics. Serpico (Army Wives) plays a white supremacist that leads a group of racists out to find the Senator and kill anyone that gets in the way. The Purge in this movie is a metaphor for slavery - hence terms like Founding Fathers being used throughout. Secor (Homicide) plays the opposition. All in all, I say: SKIP IT - even if Grillo's action scenes were good - there is too much humor and it's very obvious what the real point was.
