Dove.org did not watch this movie, but the trailer gave us a few telling hints. The First Purge combines bad logic (one night of unfettered crime will solve all of our problems), ridiculous assumptions (everyone turns into a murderer when there are no rules), and a fascist government which subjects its country to rather extreme psychological experiments. And all this from the trailer! We don’t doubt that this film will cause some interesting conversations but they will be had at the cost of watching some gratuitous cinema.
The First Purge does not receive a Dove Seal of Approval.
