THE PURGE ANARCHY: Quick Chat with Actor Frank Grillo in Philly
Post Update 7/18
In terms of a really quick review of the movie: It’s definitely more the mayhem and mass chaos movie I imagined for the original The Purge. This sequel still deals with a core group experiencing this night of deadly sin, but because it’s set in the city, and it’s not one family, it feels more wide spread. Frank holds his own as an anti-hero and the tension of the night is kept pretty tight. The political/social themes of this movie are the same as the first, just expressed in new ways.
T&T Lamb Score: 3 outta 5
While The Purge Anarchy is disturbingly violent, that’s exactly how the film’s director wanted it to be.

For a man who’s scared of guns and horror films, Frank Grillo is quite believable as the star of The Purge: Anarchy, which hits theaters nationwide July 18th, 2014.
The nearly two-hour, $12 million film tells the story of Leo Barnes, a loner who goes out to seek revenge on the man who murdered his son and encounters a stranded couple and a family who are attempting to survive the night or “The Purge”.
who first took to acting in high school, where his favorite role was Biff in Death of a Salesman, “I didn’t see The Purge (see T&T post), but I read the script for the sequel and thought this was a great idea.”
Loaded with violence and guns, Grillo says the R-rated flick directed by James Demonaco is sort of a western and it’s pretty violent, but not gory.
While the movie isn’t intended to provide viewers with a lesson, Grillo admits it made him think, particularly about why America is so violent and obsessed with guns.
Maybe the movie won’t inspire the same level of thought when you see it, but it’ll definitely cause you to flinch a few times… it’s pretty damn violent.
