The second instalment of state sponsored lawlessness. Now it is not usually the case but in this instance the second movie is better than the original.
In the first movie we observed a family trying to protect themselves and it was rather effective in portraying them as utterly helpless.
The second movie brings together the stories of three sets of people. A mother with her daughter, a young couple and a loner. A man who although is anti-purge sets out to take revenge for the loss of his son. En route he witnesses the hopeless struggle of a mother with her daughter as well as a desolate couple and although they are not his concern, he chooses to assist them. This proves a catalyst for everything that followed.
These 12 hours that people are allowed to fully indulge their animal instincts, one can feel sorry for the unfortunate ones who find themselves at their path but at the same time, hopelessness does not have to be ultimate. Some will choose to rise above those animal instinct and use this to further prove that we are human.
An interesting initial concept that has now been expanded and made for a stimulating but also thoughtful experience.
