Dredd (2012) Makes Me So Mad

Another rant about the 2012 Judge Dredd remake starring Karl Urban.I watch this movie every couple months. It's a tight 90min movie that does exactly what it is supposed to--grimdark, gorey action movie possibly starting the Judge Dredd franchise while honoring The Raid that it was based on. Some corny moments, but the writing is solid, the action is great, and the music and effects are pretty damn good for how tiny of a budget it is.And the fact that nothing ever came of it--that it's just a footnote in Hollywood--drives me insane. Not every movie needs its own franchise series, but this could have been just as successful as John Wick and yet the studios said, nah, no thanks, in fact let's actively sabotage its release.Rant over.EDIT: so it wasn't based on the raid, just read that. Still both good movies with similar concepts, I enjoy them both. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/PjUXfiH
