The Forever Purge - The scoop and digest

Fifth in series follows Election Year.

Ana de la Reguera - Adela
Tenoch Huerta - Juan
Josh Lucas - Dylan
Cassidy Freeman - Cassie
Leven Rambin - Harper
Alejandro Edda - T.T.

Summary

8 years after Charlene Roan's presidential election, the NFFA have regained control of the U.S. government.

As the next annual Purge begins, migrant couple Adela and Juan observe the Purge Purification Force, a group hellbent on cleansing America by 'disinfecting' foreigners.

During clean-up time, the carnage continues, because this is the Forever Purge bitches.

In response to conspiracy groups supporting movement, the NFFA declares martial law across America and dispatches the military to restore peace.

Mexico and Canada open their borders for 6 hours to provide sanctuary for the unarmed.

Will violence end happily Ever After?

Revival

Until now, I'd never heard of Mexican director Everado Valerio Gout.

Hardly surprising really, as screen credit is rather limited.

Political subtext may not sit well with some, but those offended should still appreciate impressive action sequences and strong performances.

With America now burning, I expect matters to expand globally (unless TV series gets there first).
