Progressive allegory so stupid it comes across as conservative parody.

Grillo's performance will make you wonder why he didn't start headlining movies like this before turning 50; his is the soft-spoken kind of charisma that helped make half of the Expendables into stars back in the '80s and '90s.

The Purge: Anarchy is basically a slasher movie in which society is the deranged killer. It plays like it's already a grindhouse classic - dark, dirty, and disreputable.

For most of the film, returning writer-director James DeMonaco favors gore and shock inserts of music over the edgy, nasty parody for which the material seems ready made.

"The Purge: Anarchy" is more in line with what people going to a "Purge" movie would want out of a "Purge" movie.

A vast improvement and a more well-conceived concept this time around, The Purge: Anarchy is a ridiculous amount of fun and Frank Grillo is truly one of the better cinematic anti-heroes we've seen in some time.

Perhaps it's fitting that the word "anarchy" is in the movie's title: it implies all that is necessary in describing such a disorderly narrative.

A face [is given] to moral questions posed in The Purge by specifically revolving the plot around today's growing wealth disparity as underground leaders rise to fight back.

An ugly, stupid, pointless debacle that doubles down on the disappointment of its predecessor.

Expands the "crime is temporarily legal" concept in all sorts of juicy ways.

DeMonaco is more interested in scenarios than in stocking them with human beings. Everybody here is a backstory in a T-shirt.

An equally effective, deliciously disturbing movie.
