Dredd

In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.

I never saw the original one with Sly, but according to friend it was quite a camp film, this is not! Its a 18 cert and i can see why, its pretty graphic shot in the style of '300' and 'Spartacus'

Karl Urban plays Dredd, i've never heard of before but he played the character well, you only ever see his mouth because he has his helmet on, so some people may have struggled to pull it off.
Lena Heady plays the badie 'Ma-ma' i thought it hard to believe that she was a ruthless gang leader that it may have needed a stronger actress, but then it would be hard to say who could replace her...

I saw the 3d version, apart from animation i dont see the point of 3d films and this was one of them, i dont see the benefit that 3d brought to the film apart from making the gun battles more graphic, if thats what the director was going for it worked!

I really enjoyed the film, more than i thought i would give it 4/5! Its a film that doesnt take itself too seriously and its full of blood, guts and gore!
