Dredd

Ratings: 7.3/10
Film Class: B
Genre: Action

Hmm... Dredd doesn't have much class, it looks like a pretty low budget film, CG-wise was decent, most of the cast are relatively unknown and setting wise, 90% takes place in a locked down building. But what Dredd does promise is a semi-gory, action-packed, kick-ass, no-brainer, movie that might be worth your time. 

Made after the Judge Dredd comics, and though it's not the first live action film, there's something likable about it - I believe is the invincibility of the protagonist. Think Taken, but instead of a CIA agent, Dredd is an enforcement officer in a futuristic era where enforcement officers can act as a Judge, and is given the power to prosecute, and execute any criminal offenders. Like Spidey's uncle would say, "With great power comes great responsiblity". And even though Judge Dredd is given such great power, he doesn't abuse it and isn't afraid to mess with the big boys, er.. girl, known as 'Ma-Ma'. 

To make things a little more interesting, of course Dredd isn't alone in this. With a psychic rookie partner, locked down in a multi-leveled high-security building owned by 'Ma-Ma', Dredd and his partner must shoot their way through countless of thugs to finally bring down the city's biggest syndicate. 

A fun and cool B-grade movie to watch, but don't expect too much class of this.
