If you like an over the top action movie then Dredd is the film for you, i mean the way its filmed its amazing it really is, its one of those underrated films that if you say to someone “oh hey I watched Dredd last night” they probably won’t have a clue on what you are on about, or they’ll mention the 90s version with Sylvester Stallone which come on did you really enjoy that film? so Dredd came out way back in 2012 and stars Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby as Judge Dredd and Anderson, the film is based of the 2000 AD comics Judge Dredd in case your interested.

The story follows Dredd in the town called Mega City One, in there he is a judge a jury and an executioner all in one (basically he can sentence you for how ever many years without a jury or a court because he is the law) he is charged with the duty of taking a rookie called Anderson to a tower block called Peach Trees to go and investigate a triple homicide and to do a drugs bust, but little do they know that a clan called the mama clan know that the judges are in the building, Dredd and Anderson catch some guys doing a drug deal they burst in and kill the drug dealers while taking one hostage. While interrogating the hostage Anderson uses her psychic powers on him, thus learning that he was the one who killed the guys who fell from the balcony, so Dredd decides to go after mama himself , mama seals the building down using her hacker (played by an unrecognizable Domnhall Gleeson) once they are locked in mama tells all the residents to stay indoors.

Mama decides to take matters in to her own hands by getting her posse and some mini-guns and completely destroys one of the floors with the mini-guns killing innocent people in the process, now this scene was bloody awesome I mean I didn’t see what old mama was gonna bring but once she got three mini-guns out oh boy I know shit was gonna go down, suddenly Anderson gets kidnapped by Dredd’s hostage and he takes her to mama where she keeps her prisoner Dredd makes an announcement over peach trees intercom system saying that he will take mama down and that he is the law.

So after all this carnage Anderson is kidnapped by the hostage, Dredd makes his way to the 200th floor to confront mama and to rescue Anderson, once he is on the 200th he confronts mama and makes her take the slo-mo and bam pushes her off the balcony, now this part is just breathtaking I mean we see the graphic detail of what happens when your face hits the floor. And that is Dredd, and what a film it is, I mean the effects are stunning, and really well made, the slo-mo drug when people take them is just amazingly filmed, i love a good sci-fi movie and this one was fantastic i would give this film a solid 10/10 mainly because of the whole filming of the slo-mo drug itself, so let me know what you thought of this film until next time catch you later.
