And we begin, like Top of the Pops circa 1973.
Oh yes sir. Writer/Producer Alex Garland and director Pete Travis take on the 2000AD legend. And it works out very well. Gritty, claustrophobic and ultra violent, the film is a tightly made comic book film that seemed to buck the recent trend of having heroes emotionally vulnerable.
Dredd is Dredd, he starts the film as Dredd and he ends the film as Dredd, Karl Urban does a great job of injecting so little ego into the character. The telltale jaw may clench and move slightly but there is little emotion behind the famous mask except resolve. In stark contrast to other 'hero' films that will make an appearance on this list, the plotting is simple and the spectacle is small scale. It falls to Olivia Thirlby as rookie Judge Anderson to provide the emotional arc of the film and does so admirably.
So why does it derserve to be number 5? It's violent, funny, disturbing, well directed and contains a tight plot within a large city of crime. It puts many characters through a huge amount and the film makes the point that it is only one crime among thousands in Mega City One. Very enjoyable, if you can stomach the violence. Finally, it is the Dredd born in the pages of 2000AD as it should be on film.
Whilst rumours of a sequel were denied following the film's poor box office performance, strong DVD and download sales have meant that the rumour mill is milling once more, however, Pete Travis has said that he would not be directing any sequel, if a sequel were to go ahead.
