MMM: #25 Dredd

[katikat]

That was great - but, sheesh, I can understand why it was rated hard R in the cinemas, talk about a hail of bullets and buckets of blood. It's so sad that it flopped completely, though, I would have loved a sequel. Because, graphic violence aside, it's a great movie with amazing women - out of the three main characters, two are women in non-traditional roles!

For me, the movie was a duel between Dredd and Ma-Ma. Karl Urban and Lena Headey were amazing in it. Great actors who have the worst luck in movies and shows. Lena's only big success is GoT, Karl's the ST and LotR movies. But I still love them a LOT, especially because they both make so many sci-fi/fantasy movies. Olivia Thirlby as Anderson was also awesome - and another actress with a bad luck in roles.

Also, I heard that The Raid had a similar premise - a cop caught in a tower with many bad guys. I think I will have to get it on DVD, then, because it's a quite fascinating action theme.
