Cathartic Sequel to a Cathartic Movie About Catharsis
5 March 2015
The Totally Ludicrous Conceit of The Purge...One Night of Bloodletting will Cleanse the Populace of Useless Eaters and At the Same Time be a Catharsis for the General Population to Purge its Primitive Need for Violence, is Once Again Unleashed on Moviegoers.

The Original Movie was Confined to a Single Dwelling and was a Home Invasion Horror Movie. This One Expands to the Outdoors of the City with Freeways, Subways, and there's No Way You Can Hide from the Purgers. Especially If You Car Breaks Down as Society Breaks Down, and Haven't Availed Yourself of Your Second Amendment Rights.

Not Everyone Partakes in the Purge. Some Prefer to Hunker Down and Ride Out the Storm, Barricading Themselves Eating Some Popcorn and Watching it All on Television. In This World it Seems that the Ultra-Rich and the Ultra-Poor are the Ones Who Play, eh, Purge.

This is a Class War Study and the Heavy Handed Story is Made Entertaining, and Yes Cathartic, Watching This Wish While Saying All Along..."It's only a Movie". But at its Core it's Deeper Than That, and while Most of it is Cartoonish, it Manages at Times to be Scary.

No, Not the Loud Soundtrack Jump Scare Clichés, its the Real Life Exploitation of the 99% by the 1% that Permeates the Picture and is Ironically More In Tune and Scarifying About What is Really Going On.

The Elite May Not Literally be Killing the Less Fortunate with Guns, Bullets, and Knives, In Reality, They Kill in a Much More Subtle Way. Just Turn on the News for the Evidence, Like the Non-Purgers in This Movie and Pop the Corn, Kick Back, and Watch it Happen. Feel Safe?
