An improvement on its underrated predecessor, The Purge: Anarchy is a thrilling film about so much more than just scares. This time around writer/director James DeMonaco seems better equipped to tell the story he wanted to. The moral and political messages are handled with a more delicate hand, and the characters seem to be better written and more important to the story itself. There are still some issues, mainly the conclusion of the film and the fact some of the dialogue feels stilted (especially when pushing the message of the film), but the film is thrilling enough and intelligent enough to be enjoyable to fans of the genre. Well written and acted. Kept you on the edge on your seat throughout the movie. This was a refreshing and original idea for a thriller.
