[5.75/10] The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

Quick Review: The suspense is higher, the violence is more graphic, the characters are easier to connect with, the production is slicker, and the direction is much more in control this time around – in other words, “Anarchy” is slightly superior to the original. Why just slightly? Because, much like its predecessor, it lacks something and that something is credibility – a very important factor for a movie with such a provocative, unsettling subject matter.

Definitely a huge improvement from the previous film which sucked! Check out my review of it - http://horrorfilmz4you.blogspot.com

Credibility blew it for me in the first one. I didn't buy the premise, which meant the whole movie went downhill from that point.

Jason, I agree. Thought the first one was mediocre at best. This one was, well, average. :) Will check it out, thanks for the link.

Alex, this sequel suffers from the exact same thing. That being said, it's much more entertaining and well-executed.

I definitely liked this one better. It was pretty intense.

S. L. Hennessy, me too.

The one was much better than part 1. Actually, the franchise might have been better off if they had done these films in reverse. Great quick review!

HorrO, I didn't think of that, but now when you say it, I think you are right.

Thanks, buddy. ;)
