American Nightmare 5 : Sans Limites

Poor writting, mediocre direction and pretty lackluster performances attached to a film thats messages have all the subtly of a sledgehammer to the face make for a very poorly handled mess with more contrivances, coincidences and plotholes than you can count on both your hands. Add on to the fact it takes itself way too seriously. Much of the actiom is shakey cam and cuts away before you see anything too violent. The worst of a dying franchise.

The other Purge films are escapist horror fantasy, this one just decides to reflect the present reality that awaits outside.

The Forever Purge had potential to be an interesting addition in the purge universe but unfortunately fell flat with the disappointing plot and predicable jump scares. If this is the first Purge outing for you it won't be such a letdown, maybe wait until its on another platform instead of paying for a cinema ticket.

By no means does is this the best in the franchise I'd rank it behind the first and anarchy.

People are talking about how political the film is but that's what this series is about.

For starters this film is unique in the series it strives away from the classic trope of purge night and makes it last over a few days.

It also is set in Texas with a Midwestern feel which honestly I welcomed it's a great setting for this film to occur.

The cinematography in this film is actually really good and doesn't feel as basic as other entries in the franchise All around it's worth a watch for just something different it's breathes new life into a franchise that was sadly dying by retreading the story each entry and it tries something different which I think is an excellent choice.

You start learning with francises either they get better,as new ideas & technology can emerge or you end up with a"milk the cow"syndrome.. Wasn't anything original or new here,unless the fact Purge night never ended.

It felt so politically based,it became rather annoying.. Refer back to The First Purge(2018)that carried a similar tone,about race & so forth.

Sure this movie had killings,gore & things but really that doesn't mean exactly much if the script or dialog fails.. A good movie with the right cast,director,location & storyline could be done about a bag.

Is it worth seeing? Sure. A popcorn flick to pass time,but don't expect a masterpiece.
