Rich people just want to kill poor people, at least that’s the message of The Purge: Anarchy. While the original film presented a lot of interesting ideas, this one seems to only focus on the class warfare aspect. When a group of strangers get caught out in the open during the annual Purge, where all crime is legal, they must band together in order to survive; but they soon get marked for death when they stumble upon a government conspiracy. Unfortunately there’s no sophistication or cleverness to the satire, and the social commentary is extremely heavy handed. That said, the chases and fight sequences are intense and a bit frightening. Though not as good as the first film, The Purge: Anarchy still delivers some exciting thrills.
