"The Purge: Anarchy" or "The Purge 2" could be one of 2014's best movies.

Watch "The Purge: Anarchy" full movie.

While the sequel springs from the same premise as the first, moviegoers and critics alike argue that the flick is a better version of the first.

Robert Grubaugh of the Edge, in an article published on the Intelligencer had this to say about the movie:

"Rehashing the political subtext that made it pop would be pointless...but this is a sequel that turns it up a notch."

"The Purge: Anarchy is much more of an action film that quite successfully merges three seemingly separate storylines together to form a cohesive analysis of the on-going argument between the One Percenters and the 99%. In fact, this movie has a lot to say about the growing gap in affluence that our country is dealing with right now."

"There's still a fair amount of crazies out there that insist the annual Purge, a twelve-hour free for all in which all crime is forgiven, is their right provided by the New Founding Fathers of America that allows them to "release the beast" that hides within them for the other 364 days. The film is set in 2023."

In an article by Forbes, film critic Scott Mendelson said that the sequel is "a horror film for our time."

"The picture, again written and directed by James DeMonaco, actually has a handful of real surprises up its sleeve in the second and third acts. And since you don't have main characters trying to justify the slaughter this time around, the film can unapologetically hold up a mirror and see our sex-entitled, gun-crazy, rich-vs.-poor culture staring back at us."

The film has opened with a strong $13M.
