I rate this a 10, it's not THE best film of all time but it was solid entertainment that was true to it's source, the setting isn't in a glossed super tech future or absurdly over populated slums. Instead we get a complex structure, a blend between 'old earth' and mega city one. In short mega city 1 is a mess.
They made the dredd costumes look practical and effective, with casting very strong, especially lenda's role of Ma-ma who is a truly terrifying character and yet convincing as a leader.
Characters play perspective of the setting, Dredd is pretty much the unforgiving force of law whilst Anderson shows us the other side, the emotional harm that the law dishes out.
The film lacks humour, it's cold, gritty and almost terribly real of human evil and of gang culture, but it never strays from it's main source.
The real question can they make this into a effective series? Death, or the exaggerated mutants won't fit in this down to earth take on this, but it is very good.

This was a terrible movie from the word go, I went with a friend to see what it's all about and though the cinema was respectfully packed, it dwindled to almost complete 0. Only did it get an empty attendance when me and my friend left, giving up after 20 minutes. The sordid jokes, vomit etc, are reserved for sites like YouTube where frankly the style of quality of comedy in some self made videos are far superior to this.
It's not the first time that a British comedian has tried to make a movie about themselves but even Russell brand and 'boart' made their movie projects with some wit and writing that doesn't rely on running dead jokes and gags. For a movie it appears insultingly cheap from set, prop to cast.
And to show how desperate this movie is, they have a PR agency giving it a 'wonderful' review under the account 'thefleece2' It really is a sign of desperation or of bad ego to have your own team to self-review and exaggerate the quality of your own product.
What I don't understand is how money gets wasted on projects like this.
This is a strong contender for worst British film for this year and perhaps one of the worst of the year entirely.
