What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Frank Scheck  Second time out for annual Purge | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Anél Viktor In wettige anargie steeds ryk en arm | 10 |  |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli It is better than the first film in almost every way but that doesn't mean it's appreciably smarter or has appeal to those who like meat on their action-oriented bones. This is a no-frills adrenaline and testosterone-fueled outing that is as much hampered as enhanced by its political agenda. | 13 |  |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs Just good enough to earn a slight recommendation for those who like these sorts of pics. | 11 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Gritty, grisly, and uncommonly ambitious, The Purge: Anarchy represents a slight improvement over its predecessor, but it's still never as smart or resonant as it tries to be. | 12 | |
