![]() With it's unique premise the Purge is always able to separate itself from the average horror/thriller film. While we watch and the story unfolds, we learn that The Purge, and its purgers, aren't so much anarchic as they are regulated. Will his generosity effect his main goal? Can Leo really save everyone? Frank Gillo makes for a very convincing and likable hero. The others find themselves wandering the street. And then there is Leo, the sergeant, the "kick ass and take names" guy. There is Shane and Liz, a crumbling couple with no killer instincts at all. One is Eva and Cali, a waitress and her daughter. There are three revolving stories of people who are entering the night. In our seats, we feel that we have to look around all at times, because there could be a killer ahead or behind us. We see the upper class citizens holding each others hands reciting the "New Founding Fathers" motto that feels like some satanic cult. We see the nut cases in freaky masks (one with GOD written on it) wielding their weapons of choice. With Anarchy, we explore the outside world during the 6th annual Purge, and it proves, without a doubt, to be ten times more thrilling and suspenseful. ![]() The big mistake with the first film was making it a trite home invasion thriller. It's because Writer/Director James DeMonaco is finally able to incorporate the underlying theme of class hierarchy that was completely misguided in its predecessor. But it isn't because The Purge: Anarchy is a significant film. ![]() The second installment (to what promises to be a yearly occurrence) of the Purge was a lot better than the first. ![]()
