Dredd (2012)
6/10
Unexpectedly decent
22 June 2013
Into the first ten minutes of the movie and i was thinking it would turn out to be a funny serious movie. A protagonist with a headgear on all the time is going to be no fun!

The movie is set in a futuristic world where you have these tall 200 storied sky scrapers where thousands of people inhabit one colony of a sky scraper. Then there are crimes and criminals - involved in drug abuse of a variety which slows down reactions and allows you to feel a minute as if it were a long time. The new drug called slo-mo is made in one of these towers.

However, even in such a futuristic setting, there are the good guys known as the judges who prevent things from happening to good people out there. One such judge is Dredd.

The fate of the criminal head ma-ma and Dredd gets intertwined when a crime happens in ma-ma's super sky scrapper and judge Dredd goes to investigate it. Amidst a lot of fire power, action, bloodshed and a new mutant rookie cop, Dredd fights crime and buys time till help arrives. The fight sequences are thought carefully and the mutant rookie cop adds in a bit extra to make the plot interesting. The catch is that these two cops have to use there wits to survive and serve justice in the sky scrapper on their own since ma-ma locks down the entire structure.

Be prepared for some action sequences. Best is to watch the movie without any expectations and you would end up liking it like i did.

I give it a 6 out of 10 for the above content.
