The Purge: Anarchy (Viva la trailers!)

Yeah, the best was in the teasers. Well, the film edited down to the trailer made the film its best. Not too bad for a film that had almost all no-name characters in it. Frank Grillo pulled it all together as a policeman out for some Purge Justice who inadvertently rescues four folks caught out at night. They run and fight and run some more to escape the madness in order to find short-lived safety. In the end they are captured and sold as "purgees" to a load of rich folks who bid for the privilege to kill them. Much mayhem ensues and Grillo gets to mete out some Purge Justice in the end.
The acting was okay for such an action-thriller. The script did a lot of telegraphing but had an occasional twist that was nice but not mind-blowing. There was moralizing to be done against the feelthy riche and a government trying to clean up the streets by dispatching poor people.
All-in-all, predictable but involving because of the level of action. If you are bored and want to go out, sure. Otherwise, wait for Red Box or NF.
