The Purge: Anarchy

The Purge: Anarchy Review 6/10

 In my opinion, the whole idea of "The Purge" is quite ridiculous and the fact that their are people who get caught out in the streets for these 12 hours are just plain stupid. It's not a random day and time, these people have a very good indication of when this is going down. So in the case of our first 2 characters, they are out driving with only an hour or so before it starts. Why in the world would you cut it that close??? But I suppose without that, there wouldn't be a movie.

It's similar to the first, but instead of it being in a house with a family being hunted, this one takes place out on the street in the middle of the action. A lone man who is out to get revenge for his lost son, saves 4 civilians from a bunch of what look like SWAT team members.

As the movie moves along the plot picks up a bit with random killings here and there and we learn more about our group of five. Towards the end, it turns into a video game so to speak. The rich have bought the right to Purge. They put our group of five into an arena where they hunt them down. It was entertaining to say the least.

Like in the first film, there were several times where someone is saved at the last second. So it was pretty easy to tell when someone was going to survive. The ending brings everything full circle and it was somewhat satisfactory. It was a pleasant surprise considering I wasn't  a huge fan of the first one. I liked this one much better for a 6/10.
