07/16/2018 I definitely enjoyed this unusual premise (foundation) for a movie. The actors were excellent making the movie seem reasonably believable and viewer will become immersed as they watch right up to the satisfying end. I can definitely recommend this mass killers at large hunting down everyday victims just trying to survive. Bon Appetit

7.5 out of 10 for clarification. The Purge: Anarchy is a considerably more refined sequel that improves upon it's predecessor (2013's horror thriller The Purge) in a number of key ways. It retains the tension and social commentary of the first film, however the performances and cinematography are more nuanced and the inclusion of multiple interweaving storylines is a welcome addition. Horror fans may well appreciate the morbid creativity here.

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerAfter watching the first Purge, I was interested enough to watch the second one (I heard that it was better than the first one). I have to say, that this one was a disappointment like the first one. The premise of the story is very interesting and original but the outcome is sloppy and messy. I wish they had made the Purge films like an anthology series, this format would make the films a lot better.The acting is pretty bad. The only good actors in the entire film are Frank Grillo and Michael Kenneth Williams. Grillo is a badass who stops at nothing to achieve his goals. The pacing is fast and gets us into the action quickly. The runtime is overlong.Pros: Interesting story fast pacing, and good acting by Frank Grillo and Michael Kenneth WilliamsCons: The story is messy and sloppy, unused potential when it comes to the premise, bad acting, and an overlong runtimeOverall Rating: 4.2P.S. I did not enjoy the first Purge that much but had heard that the second Purge film was a lot better. Sadly, the first Purge film is way better than this film.

Quite a mess of a film. It clearly tries to expand on the bigger picture that we missed out on last time - but the fact is that past the initial frightening idea, The Purge: Anarchy is an exercise in mindless bloodshed (as is the eponymous Purge itself), and lacks emotional depth or a coherent story.
