Dredd is a 80s action movie at heart, full of gory violence and clever one-liners, with a modern tone, special effects, and music. This movie is in the same vein as Rambo, RoboCop (the original), and The Terminator; a well written and well acted creative story filled with intense violence. Amazingly, despite this movie's strong reviews and the best 3D that I've ever seen, it has done exceptionally poorly in the theaters. I can only speculate that modern audiences aren't looking for violent action movies anymore. However, if you enjoy violent action movies or 80s action movies, you'll almost certainly love this one. |
A straight forward shoot-em-up made with style. Dredd explodes off the screen with impressive visuals (including good use of 3D) and brutal violence. The presentation of the super slo-motion is stunning and actually beautiful. The plot is simple, but not dumb, and it doesn't contain many cliches. An efficiently entertaining flick, for the action lover. |
