Dredd (2012)
Spyro Rating: 8,0 /10 as "stunning"
Director: Pete Travis
Stars: Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Lena Headey, Wood Harris
Dredd (2012) is a solid action sci-fi movie that until today I was among many who were missing it. Now it feels like I should explain to myself why it took me so long. The base concept of a future fascist cop is crap material to build on. Adding the terrible marketing over posters, trailers, etc it results a movie never standing a chance. However this film deserves one.
Set in a future characterized by overpopulation, poverty, slums, violence, drugs and corruption. Law enforcement is able to respond a 6% of the serious crimes reports. The high trained police unit are the Judges. They have the authority to condemn a criminal live-in-field and pass the execution sentence instantly.
Judge Dredd originates from UK comics that I don't know the lore but watching this movie I didn't feel I was missing any information. This was the second film adaptation after the 1995 parody by Sylvester Stallone. The two movies are not connected and regarding Dredd (2012) it is unlikely that we will get a sequel with the same cast.
