It's been two years since Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now serving as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), his mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay alive until dawn ... or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state.

Trivia
Originally, part 3 was intended to be a prequel, telling the story of the very first Purge. This idea was scrapped when Frank Grillo accepted James DeMonaco's offer to reprise the character of Sergeant Leo Barnes. The prequel idea was used for the next film in the series, American Nightmare 4 : Les Origines (2018).

Goofs
(at around 51 mins) During the store break scene, candy girl is run over by a van and passes under the van. Her boots fly off her body with the laces dangling as they fly away from her body. When the driver steps out of the vehicle to shoot her, her boots are back on with the laces still tied.

Quotes
Joe Dixon: Boy, there's a whole bunch of Negros comin' right this way. And we sitting up here like a bucket of motherfucking chicken.

7/10

A bit stale n devoid of tension.

I first saw this in 2016 on a dvd which I own. Revisited it recently with my family.

This is the third installment in the Purge franchise.

A young Charlene Roan is forced to watch as her mother, father, and brother are killed on a Purge night. Fast forward eighteen years n Roan, a U. S. Senator is campaigning for the U. S. Presidency and promises an executive action to end the annual Purge nights.

This one gets a bit stale but i am generous with a 7 cos of Grillo.

In this one there are no psychopaths or creepy stuff.

It also has lots of clichés moments.

It was easy to predict that apart from Grillo's character, all other security personnel will be traitors.

Also the tunnel stuff are all too far fetched n predictable.
