The Purge: Anarchy
(2014)
Written and directed
by James DeMonaco this film stars Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo, Zach
Gilford and Kiele Sanchez. Four innocents find themselves trapped
outside during a ritual night when all laws are suspended and their
only protection is a man on a mission to kill.
Taking what is a
criticism of the right this sequel adds on a familiar level of right
wing paranoia with a spoonful of “the government is out to get us”
which I am not sure adds much to the setting. Using a larger cast and
a more open setting does give the film a different feel to the
original but neither adds nor detracts really. There is plenty of
violence but again like it's predecessor I do not think this film is
as intelligent as it thinks it is.
3/5
