	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"'The Purge: Anarchy' efficiently exploits its high-concept premise while delivering far more visceral thrills than its predecessor"	POS
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"James DeMonaco combines potent action, sledgehammer political allegory and eerie paranoia in an entertaining B movie (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"The central premise remains as patently absurd as ever in this noisy, self-serious sequel to James DeMonaco's surprise 2013 hit"	NEG
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"[A] satisfyingly creepy, blunt, down-and-dirty thriller, one of those follow-ups that improves on the original"	POS
United States	Kyle Smith New York Post	"I’ve read ingredients labels that were scarier than The Purge: Anarchy, a plodding horror flick that mistakenly thinks it has big ideas (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"A tenser, darker and better experience than the subpar 2013 original."	POS
