I like the action, and way way more intense than the first one. As good as 'Anarchy', plus Elizabeth Mitchell!

Wait! What? Wtf did I just watch? I don't know where to start. Ok... First and also biggest problem of the movie is Senator Roan. Her family was slaughtered so she knows the meaning of fear very well. Now, her life is in danger again but her damn gesture doesn't change during the whole movie. Do producers of the movie try to show us a tough senator? If so, they must have forgotten she is a human first... Then she is a senator. I mean she can be killed but she doesn't scare! Roan's gesture changes only when she hears that her competitor will be killed. She doesn't care her life more than the election. You can say it is not a big deal but I've been stuck in that annoying situation during the whole movie. The second problem is that Leo becomes Rambo. Pleaszzze! He was shot, he took the bullet off from his body himself and a car accident happened but he beat a mercenary who was steady as a rock. I'm just disappointed. Really like the second movie but this one is a disaster.

My thoughts about this movie is basically the same as the previous Purge movies; The writers are missing out on making this a hardcore horror series in order to make these movies more appealing to a wider audience. What you get is a great premise that doesn't follow through in making itself truly disturbing.

Whereas most franchises are characterized by sequels that degrade in quality over time, “The Purge” is one that continues to improve. The first movie was a good premise in search of a story. The second in the series, “The Purge: Anarchy” was a More

The best **looking** movie of the _Purge_ franchise, and I was happy to see Frank Grillo returning, but still a definitive step down from its predecessor, _Anarchy_.

_Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
