The Purge - Election Year (2016)
The third instalment in the Purge film franchise, in which I'm sure you already know - once a year everything becomes legal including murder, giving the citizens a chance to let of steam and basically go bonkers. This has, in the story helped the economy and led to a better life. However it is argued that all is happening is that they are getting rid of the less fortunate.
Well, if you've seen the first one then you already know this. If you've seen The Purge : Anarchy you know this again.
The third movie, The Purge : Election Year pits two politicians in the year 2022 in line for presidency (one for, one opposed) against each other as the "for" leader decides that he's going to do away with the "against" during the purge as it seems that she has a chance of getting the vote and thus stopping the purge.
So we have her assassins trying to do away with her while she escapes and hides. There's a bit of a sub plot involving the resistance to the purge and the usual masked kids running about hacking at people.
The first one was a great idea, two didn't really cut the mustard and three...well, no, not really needed.
3/10 Masks.
