One night per year, the government sanctions a 12-hour period in which citizens can commit any crime they wish -- including murder -- without fear of punishment or imprisonment. Leo, a sergeant who lost his son, plans a vigilante mission of revenge during the mayhem. However, instead of a death-dealing avenger, he becomes the unexpected protector of four innocent strangers who desperately need his help if they are to survive the night.

The Purge: Anarchy is the best movie from that series. Acting was okay and Story was pretty good. The Purge (2013) problem was story. Story in first movie was so bad and I didn't like that. Action was only in one house and that's not the best idea. Okay but fu#k The Purge (2013). I most like in this movie that action. Everyone in this movie who was an outside had a different story. And then came one badass guy and protected them. It's not that interesting but still it's better than The Purge (2013) and The Purge: Election Year (2016). Do I recommend that?? Umm yes. When you like that story and sh#t than why not? When you enjoyed The Purge (2013) then you sure enjoy The Purge: Anarchy (2014).

The Purge anarchy is the best of the purge movies so far it's an exciting edge of the seat Thriller.I won't talk about the plot or story as tons of others already have.FRANK GRILLO is Fantastic as the lone vigilante Hero in this film & his performance is Excellent he's a tough not very talkative old school style Hero like a Charles Bronson in Death Wish or a Clint Eastwood in Dirty Harry or a Kurt Russell in Escape from New York,he's made in that great mould & this works as an action Thriller for Grillo like those movies did for them.In this urban Purge world it's scary & you need someone like Grillo to follow on the journey through this crazy new America & he's perfectly cast & you see what a very intense actor he is & what a fantastic Action Hero he can & should be!!! The movie is so atmospheric & exciting & full of danger especially when Grillo has to help a small group of survivor's through the dangerous streets of Los Angeles & the cinematography is stunning,the look if the streets & the colours look beautiful lots of almost neon green it looks fantastic & like i said having the excellent Grillo as the hero is perfect casting he really is so cool like a modern Mad Max or The Punisher he's great

7.5 out of 10 for clarification. The Purge: Anarchy is a considerably more refined sequel that improves upon it's predecessor (2013's horror thriller The Purge) in a number of key ways. It retains the tension and social commentary of the first film, however the performances and cinematography are more nuanced and the inclusion of multiple interweaving storylines is a welcome addition. Horror fans may well appreciate the morbid creativity here.

With "The Purge" in 2013, writer/director James DeMonaco introduced one of the most original and disturbingly realistic premises for a dystopian Sci-Fi/thriller flick in many years. However, for some inexplicable reason, DeMonaco took all the great potential and wasted it on making yet another mundane and run-of-the-mill slasher/vigilante thriller. Literally everyone could see that the concept of "The Purge" (all types of crime are legalized during a 12-hour period across the USA in a not-so-distant future) offers endless possibilities, and apparently DeMonaco realized it too in the meantime, since the first numberless sequel is better, more disturbing and a lot more varied in terms of purging types & participants. Whereas in the first film, only one wealthy family got targeted by a violent gang in their heavily secured house, there are various storylines in "Anarchy". Here we see how the purge is used as an excuse to extract personal vengeance, how rich families literally buy poor people to feast their murder lusts upon, how family feuds are resolved, how the government organizes a secretive sort of mass-cleansing and how street gangs (with awesome masks) chase and round up victims for pretentious snobs. That last storyline reminded me of one of the oldest cult premises in cinema history, and a personal favorite classic of mine, namely "The Most Dangerous Game". There's still a lot of efficient satire and social criticism in DeMonaco's script, notably regarding America's culture of violence and the pro-weapon attitude. Contrary to most horror films and thrillers nowadays, "The Purge: Anarchy" has a cast full of amiable and realistic characters, and the performances (Frank Grillo, Zoë Soul, Kiele Sanchez...) are more than adequate.
