Dredd
1st Trailer
Watch It Here
Person of Interest: Ultra-serious badass Karl Urban, rookie Oliva Thirlby, and Lena Headey, enjoying a little break from television work, as evil Ma-Ma.
Scene Pop: "I am the law".
Briggs Breakdown: 2 human free-falls, 5 "Slow-Mo" drug trips, rampant gun battles, a slow-motion room clearing, and a big ole chain-gun.
Effective?: Barely. Not many distinctive aspects to appease potential viewers.
Check it Out?: Probably wait till DVD or a cheap matinee on a slow day. I was a fan of the Stallone version growing up, despite the heavy dose of Rob Schneider, so I will look forward to this, despite some gripes. The Children of Men visual style meets The Raid: Redemption plot does look promising, but the heavy use of slow motion looks boring. Also to its detriment, this trailer sounds wait too much like Total Recall's trailer, complete with the sudden drops, blast of gunfire, then clangs of metal drums.
