Adela (Ana de la Reguera) and Juan (Tenoch Huerta) are a couple crossing the border illegally. The Purge has been reinstated by the new government. Dylan Tucker (Josh Lucas) is hunkering down on his Texas ranch with his family; his sister Harper (Leven Rambin), his pregnant wife Cassidy (Cassidy Freeman), and his father Caleb (Will Patton). Adela and Juan join others in renting sanctuary. They all survive the night but there are those who want to extend the Purge to an everyday reality.
This is trying to do more social commentary. I'm fine with that as long as it's done logically which isn't always the case with this franchise. The logic does take some leaps here and there. The biggest leap is the open borders. The first move for Canada and Mexico would be to close the borders. It's not actually necessary. The story could have looped back to the tunnels with the closed border. Then there is the truck. It's not bulletproof people. The movie should stop treating it as such. Finally, I don't like reducing the final battle to those weapons. The lasso is too silly. It's trying to do something that takes away its realism. This movie comes with quite a few issues but then that's this franchise. All of these movies come with issues.
