I've probably seen about half of it in clips though. <br /><br />What I have seen is brutal, direct action, a bit darker-luc-besson in style with the female lead, and damned intense.

And just so there's no miscommunication, I'm talking about Dredd (2012) *not* Judge Dredd (1995). ha!jaerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721378819936697447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039232840539102510.post-42302397877990113502017-07-03T23:11:03.747-04:002017-07-03T23:11:03.747-04:00Oh?Oh?LastRedoubthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17099887288125584869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039232840539102510.post-48692062684425007682017-07-03T20:56:42.930-04:002017-07-03T20:56:42.930-04:00There are few films I consider "perfect"...<b>There are few films I consider "perfect" or nearly so, where everything fits, even the twists, where the acting just works, and the characters, editing, what is show on screen is done with absolutely minimum waste of time and a maximum of information</b><br />For me, that movie is Dredd.jaerichohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721378819936697447noreply@blogger.com
