Ben Rawson-Jones of Digital Spy gave his honest review of the sequel to "The Purge."
"The Purge: Anarchy is that rare beast - a sequel infinitely better than its predecessor. Whereas last year's original squandered the fascinating premise of a 12-hour annual period when murder is legal by turning it into generic 'home invasion' tripe, this gripping but stylistically flawed follow-up explores the fabric of this twisted society with an array of intriguing characters and scenarios."
"An often horrifying look at a grim future, The Purge: Anarchy largely succeeds because it takes time to explore a society on a vastly wider canvas than its predecessor and give us characters whose fates we can care about. There's still a huge amount of untapped potential in the premise though, which will require a lot of conviction and creative risk-taking in the franchise's future instalments."
"The Purge: Anarchy" remains to be a strong box office contender racking $13M on its opening day.
Here is the synopsis of the sequel, as published on IMDb:
"A couple are driving home to their kids when their car runs out of gas just as the Purge commences. Meanwhile, a police sergeant goes out into the streets to get revenge on the man who killed his son, and a mother and daughter run from their home after assailants destroy it. The five people meet up as they attempt to survive the night in Los Angeles."
