Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Walter Addiego (380) for San Francisco Chronicle (7,630) on 16 Jul 2014

Give credit to writer-director James DeMonaco for at least attempting to give his action thriller some heft with a plot that concerns our obsession…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 16 Jul 2014

The sequel takes the morally hypocritical position of its predecessor's climax as its foundation…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Radheyan Simonpillai (471) for NOW Toronto (1,621) on 16 Jul 2014

Exploits its half-baked, insincere critique on class warfare and the second amendment to suggest a high-minded justification for its real function…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 16 Jul 2014

Not a great movie, but its drive-in aesthetics recall such films as Escape From New York, The Most Dangerous Game elements of the first film…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Frederic And Mary Ann Brussat (3,072) for Spirituality and Practice (3,072) on 16 Jul 2014

A sequel that gives up the prophesy of the first film for a clichéd run-for-your-life thriller…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Clay Cane (203) for BET.com (238) on 16 Jul 2014

DeManco must have listened to the critics, because The Purge: Anarchy cleans ups the flaws of 2013, easily topping the original and, thus far,…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Brad Keefe (343) for Columbus Alive (355) on 16 Jul 2014

Moves from the Panic Room-style plot of the first film to a more action-oriented pseudo-Escape from New York vibe. And it works…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Bill Gibron (1,013) for Film Racket (579) on 16 Jul 2014

Takes a preposterous idea and makes it even more so…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Kerry Lengel (223) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 16 Jul 2014

You'd expect the sequel to be an improvement based on production values alone, and you would be right, but not by much…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Jon Niccum (520) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 16 Jul 2014

Anarchy expands the setting and the social commentary, resulting in a fierce thriller that roars with contemporary relevance…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Guy Lodge (731) for Variety (12,700) on 16 Jul 2014

For all the philosophical and metaphorical shortcomings of his script, however, DeMonaco is an efficient orchestrator of action…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Jim Vejvoda (203) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 16 Jul 2014

A marked improvement over its predecessor, The Purge: Anarchy is a scarier and more effective thriller that also features a solid central performance…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Sue Pierman (154) for Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1,693) on 16 Jul 2014

Ultimately, the movie begins to fall apart as clichés and contrivances start piling up faster than the bodies…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By John Semley (121) for The Globe and Mail (Toronto) (4,018) on 16 Jul 2014

Soulless and idiotic and abysmally scripted as it is, Anarchy, like its predecessor, feels mournfully relevant…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for McClatchy-Tribune News Service (291) on 16 Jul 2014

It’s preachier, more diverse in its casting. All of which make it more specific and limit it…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Jason Zingale (478) for Bullz-Eye.com (1,091) on 16 Jul 2014

Unlike the home invasion plot of the first film, Anarchy has shed itself almost entirely of all horror elements, aiming for something more…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Gabe Toro (98) for The Playlist (3,871) on 16 Jul 2014

This one veers further from actual horror into an action picture. “The Purge” tries to unsettle. The Purge: Anarchy wants you to cheer…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Charles Koplinski (232) for Illinois Times (232) on 16 Jul 2014

There's a sense of justified rage that propels The Purge: Anarchy, a film that simultaneously serves as a cathartic exercise for its audience…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 16 Jul 2014

Probably the closest they could have made to a Punisher movie without getting sued. Much better than the first film…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Michael O'sullivan (1,712) for Washington Post (9,851) on 16 Jul 2014
