Film Review: The Purge: Anarchy
Capitalizing on the surprising success of 2013’s The Purge, 2014 finds The Purge: Anarchy taking it to the streets for a little more ‘cleansing.’ Writer-director, James DeMonaco, makes this a less-intimate affair, expanding the terrain and body count to citywide proportions.
