For being a movie based on an
utterly dismissible theory it’s something to ponder upon how this is actually
pulled off. To be honest thought how dum it sounds I was hanging on to it and
wanted to witness it till the end and even at the end it made some sense and it’s
crazy. Maybe I should be purged!! And I must say that I have not seeing the predecessor
of The Purge Anarchy there for I have no way of comparing it with this one. But
strangely bit familiar in the same lines of The Hunger Games, this one does a
decent job being more realistic and close to home.
In not so distant future the US
government has found a mechanism to keep its population and crime rate in
control. The annual purge that last a 12 hour period let the civilians to let
out their rage and cleans themselves. And in this period all crimes including
murder is accepted by low. The story of a former low enforcement agent looking
for revenge from previous years purge and few civilians who he happen to tag
alone and their combined effort of surviving through the purge night is what
The Purge Anarchy is all about.
Like I mentioned at the start the
whole plot seems absurd. Yet the whole time we are left to believe it so strongly
and confidently after sometime it will sink right in. And from that point the
viewer will go through the horrific journey of survival along with the characters
and corner to corner there is some new experience wait. And unexpectedly The
Purge Anarchy does not cross its limits with being too gory or violent. It operates
within a certain discipline and this makes the journey somewhat pleasant than
road paved with flesh and blood. And the good twists that comes out of nowhere
does a decent job and spicing things up.
While The Purge Anarchy is a
horrific thriller from the surface it does have an underlying message that is
well put together. A certain hope of humanity is emerging from the brutal
actions of the rulers and the story manages to shine it to give some hope for
the god forbidden future.
