Abridgment:
From Boston to
Washington DC happens to be a big city which street is controlled by criminals
and it’s always chaotic. Judge Dredd being the general Judge of judges who
possess all the powers and to whom order lies as in cops was given assignment
to teach Cassandra Anderson the anxious lady.
They were forced to
venture where fellow judge hate to, as a call from a flagitious crime.
Ma-Ma as a drug Lord and a clan leader
protects her kingdom by initiating a serious war against the Judges when they
entered the heart of her territory in a 200 story vertical slum owned by sluts.
Review:
If they are a category
of people to praise, it’s the cinematography guys because they gave their best,
as well as Music guys, Rupert Coulson and Yann McCullough. The soundtrack
composer Paul Leonard-Morgan had some awesome tracks which were good for
listening more especially tracks like Ma-Ma’s Requiem, Slo-Mo, Judgment time,
Order in the Chaos, Anderson theme, Bad Judges and Mega City one amongst many
others. Interestingly they were related to what was taking place in each
scenario. Members behind the movie like John Wagner Dredd creator and Stuart Ford
executive producer made comments like on the button and super contemporary
respectively for the stunner sound tracks.
Credit to director
Pete for positioning the actors in their fit role, with the exception of
Cassandra who in turn proved anxious but it’s not a big deal since she somewhat
delivered. Main man curl urban as Dredd in his noble outfit looked smart in his
character both mentally and physically thanks to Dianne colliers and Michael
O’Connor for his costumes.
The 95 minute movie is
not boring because the action was in the spot unless at some point you loose
concentration and you don’t know what’s happening otherwise one interesting
thing I like about the movie is Cassandra Anderson’s ability to perceive
information hidden from the normal senses, probably her sixth sense works
perfectly. She did all those through her extrasensory perception.
So as a movie fanatic
if movies like Expendables 2 this year did not reach your expectation don’t
feel the movie world is jaded watch out for this space!
