The Purge: Anarchy (2014) Review

Plot: Three groups of people are trying to survive Purge Night, when their stories intertwine and are left stranded in The Purge try to survive the chaos and violence that occurs.

Review: The sequel to The Purge, wound up being something that I feel all of you will enjoy. Even if you don’t fully love the film, The Purge: Anarchy is a movie that at least everyone can get into. The film takes everything that I saw wrong in the original movie and just completely delivers in every way that it possibly can. The Purge: Anarchy got a 6.5/10 on IMDb, which is actually pretty decent for that site, but I believe it deserves to be much higher.

Lets start off with the story, which was very intriguing by the way. The Purge: Anarchy focuses on a group of 5 people who are stuck out on the streets during purge night and must fight in order to survive the night. This is where The Purge: Anarchy differs from the original film, I was absolutely thrilled to see this movie take place in the streets, like they literally go all over the city and I loved the fact that they made this movie that way. It just makes the viewers feel like they’re in the movie, it’s literally awesome. The Purge: Anarchy also gives us a better look at the government and the freedom fighters that are against the purge. Overall the story in The Purge: Anarchy is an excellent one. How was the acting? The acting in The Purge: Anarchy was good. There wasn’t a performance by anyone that will really capture you, but the whole cast does do a good job in the movie and keeps things enjoyable for us viewers, especially Frank Grillo and Carmen Ejogo.

The Purge: Anarchy can provide you with some scares, but I feel like this movie focuses more on the thrills, which is fine. You shouldn’t really expect this movie to frighten you, just appreciate all the excitement this movie brings and enjoy the ride. There were plenty of kills and some pretty crazy kill scenes. The thrills and intense scenes did an excellent job with keeping my eyes glued on the television. Will you be able to survive the night?Overall I absolutely loved The Purge: Anarchy and thought it was highly entertaining. The story was probably the best thing about this film and where it mostly differed from the original. This movie focuses more on the actual purge as a whole and it takes place in the city streets. It was an intriguing approach and really got me into the movie, felt like I was there with the characters. The acting was good, nothing too special, but something the viewers can enjoy. The Purge: Anarchy won’t terrify you, but it can make you jump. The thrills and kills were intense and did an excellent job with keeping my eyes on the television. If you haven’t seen this movie I highly recommend you go watch it. You won’t regret it, this one is a must watch!

The Purge (2013) Review

Plot: In the future, a wealthy family is held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized.

Review: Wow, its been a long time since I posted a movie review on here, but the good news is I’m back. I decided to share my opinion on The Purge, which everyone seems to be having mixed feelings about. To be completely honest I only saw The Purge today, been holding it off because so many people were saying it was complete shit, but one of my friends told me otherwise and I’m glad I listened to him. The Purge is not as bad as everyone says it is, it’s one of those movies that you can enjoy, just give it a chance.

The story to The Purge was unique and highly entertaining. It focuses on this family that lives in America in the future, where the government decided to make a day where it becomes legal to commit crimes,  including murder. I think what makes the story so entertaining is just imagining what it would be like if the purge was actually real. The ending was a little predictable, but the story was still good. How was the acting? The acting for The Purge was good. Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey both delivered great performances. The supporting cast did a good job with their roles and made this a good all around acting performance from the cast. There were times when I felt like I could connect with the character and feel their pain and that’s what I look for when I judge a movie around the acting.

The Purge can possibly scare the soul out of some people, but for others, there may only be a few scenes that make you jump. It really comes down to what makes you afraid when you watch a movie. The thrills and kills were intense in this movie and really kept me involved, I didn’t want to look away from my television. The only thing I can say is that I wish there was more of it. The villains in The Purge were pretty creepy though, that’s always a plus. Overall, The Purge was a solid movie that happens to be very underrated and was highly enjoyable. The story was entertaining and gives us a unique look towards horror. The acting was good, Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey were great in their roles and gave some outstanding performances. The Purge also provides the viewers with some great scares, kills, and thrills. The Purge is a movie that you will enjoy, if you haven’t seen this movie yet I highly recommend you go watch it. You won’t regret it!

The Purge: Anarchy (2014) Trailer

This movie doesn’t look to be that bad. I absolutely think that it looks better than the first film. The original Purge film didn’t really live up to the expectations I had for it so I am not getting to excited for this one, although it does look like it will be a highly enjoyable film. This movie looks like it combines horror with some intense looking action scenes. That being said I don’t think that this movie will be that scary but it does look violent and we may get lucky and see some scary scenes as well. Am I going to be seeing this film? The answer is yes, after watching the trailer it makes this movie look like it will be a good one. Lets hope that I am right when I say it doesn’t look that bad and hopefully when I go to watch it I actually enjoy it unlike the first one.
