Dredd (2012)
ACAB includes Dredd. But, with that being said this movie is fun.
I think it succeeds in being so self-contained. Dred isn’t trying to stop a giant blue laser beam from shooting up into the sky and ending the universe. He’s trying to take down a single drug dealer in a single building.
This is trade, but in a sci-fi future
Also, the use of drugs as a fund special effect gimmick I thought it worked really well when I first watched it and on a repeat viewing. More movies need to start abusing the slow mo drug.
