The Purge: Anarchy | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Frank Grillo makes for a grizzled and unsettling presence.

I did enjoy this more than the first, and even more than I thought I would as a whole. By the halfway mark, I actually started caring about the well-being of the main characters in a way I didn't by that point in the first one.

A modern interpretation of those grim, gritty, exploitation style revenge thrillers from the late 1970s and early 1980s.

As outrageous as the concept initially seems, Anarchy holds a mirror up to American society with a bite that is rare in horror cinema nowadays.

The Purge: Anarchy is a quick, cheap exploitation movie that intends to fill seats with promises of over-the-top violence. But it delivers something much more subversive and interesting.
