If you have read my review of the original The Purge, you will know that I am absolutely in love with the movies hook of one night a year all crime, including murder, being 100% legal. What was disappointing about the first movie was that this fantastic concept was married to a basic home invasion plot that limited any exploration of an interesting landscape where morals are completely thrown out.
The sequel, which the below trailer attests, fixes all that, bringing us out into the world, and following a disparate group of characters as they struggle to survive in a city block that descends into chaos as annual Purge marches on. There is a hell of a lot to like here, and I can't for this sequel to hit the big screen.
Released July 18th USA / July 25th IRELAND & UK
