Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014) by Andrew K — 15 Oct 2014
The Purge: Anarchy is well directed and does well to keep its audience engaged. On the other hand having seen the first Purge I can't help but notice the frequent similarities. One of the main reasons I enjoyed the first Purge was the difference in narrative from conventional action/thriller movies.
The Purge: Anarchy adopts the same narrative with little alterations to the series of events that take place. The movie also has a typical action style ending. I feel that the ending seen in the first Purge was better in the sense of emotional tires to characters.
But having said this, the film is directed will and an overall good movie to watch.The storyline is good, presenting why people may want to purge while others are oppose to it. It presents some moral dilemmas too.
The main protagonist wishes to purge a wrong done to him, others advise that retribution will not bring him peace and is not justice. It also presents the purge as a means for the elite to control and financially benefit from the poor.
Another protagonist wishes to purge thanks to an immediate cause for their desire to purge, the death of their partner. A well executed film that ought to provoke thoughts as to what we really wish for our future as a race.
