The thing is, he was emotional. He was just 100% professional about his job. You could see him give the vagrancy guy at the start of the movie a chance to move, he called an ambulance for the guy the first criminals took out. I'm sure in his day to day life, he's actually a reasonable and normal judge. But once him and Andersen got locked into Peach Trees, he removed all the un-neccesary emotions and focused on the useful ones. He showed genuine anger on several occasions, towards Ma-Ma, towards the corrupt judges. He just didn't take it to comic book levels like Stallone did.

Being fair, Dredd clearly does have emotions, he just doesn't let them get in the way. He's ruthless because that's what the job demands. What the law demands. He can't let emotions bias his judgement. He can let things like rage and disgust help fuel his pursuit of justice, yes, and he is willing to show mercy to a limited extent, but the law is ironclad. It cannot and should not be swayed by emotions. It only bows before truth. He gives one of the perps at the start of the movie a chance at a lesser sentence (life imprisonment, yes, but it's better than death). He gives the vagrant a chance to leave. There's that slight bit of mercy. Of compassion. But it never once overtakes his duty.

@@nerofl89 Nah, Dredd took much flak for being a copy of Raid (Iko Uwais stars). Fans were not happy with the fact that a beloved comic book legend is being thrown into a copy movie. I saw both, yes the premise is similar but both movies work great and I re watch both once per year (Raid 2 also).

@@iljavija It took unfair flak for that as if you look at script writing and production time at the most charitable it would be simultaneous invention, however, if taken timing into account it was The Raid that was copying Dredd. Dredd had a horrible production time and was in limbo for a quite a while. The script writing for Dredd began in 2006, 5 years before The Raid came out (most movies have a 3-4 year turn around), and Dredd was announced in 2008, after some limbo time it was finally in production in 2010. Also those comparisons didn't come out until after the movie released. It was the lack of marketing that really hurt Dredd, and the other thing that really hurt the financial outcome was that it received a limited release (in other words, most theaters across the US did not even have it).

I remember one episode from the comics when there's a massive shootout and some civilians flee from the gunfire by running on a rolling sidewalk where only walking is allowed and he sentences them to 6 months for running. Hence not caring that they're fleeing from gunfire, they broke the law.

@@timothyhouse1622 No. Let's parse the germane part of the sentence, which is everything after "just try and show me": "3 o'clock beared [sic] mug" is the subject of the independent clause (the actual subject of the sentence is "you") . So the clause is about that face. "That screams grimey [again sic], corrupt justice more than his" is the object of the clause. That is clear by the "his" there even if the fact it's an adjective clause didn't. So by taking the clause at face value we can determine that what we're talking about is a face that is "grimy" and "corrupt." There's no indication that the face is intended to be a metaphor for systemic corruption, but instead that it's intended to be descriptor of the actual face itself. Because of that, we have to assume that any corruption adheres to the owner of that face, which is Dredd. You make the assumption that's not the case because you have additional context clues about the nature of the Justice System in Mega-City One from your knowledge of 2000AD or the movie. But that's not inherent in the clause as constructed. For the original post to do that work it would need a subordinate clause or additional sentence making that metaphorical connection apparent to the reader. I should also note I don't disagree with your assessment of the system, there. But Dredd himself is not corrupt, which the clause in question suggests with its construction.

Dredd was created originally as a satire of Thatcher's law-and-order fascism. He was the symbol of thuggish, brutal police oppression personified: unbending, unthinking, violent, aggressive, homicidal, and pitiless. The fact that he became regarded as a hero is a sad testament to where our culture has gone. This movie actually does a pretty good job of portraying Dredd the way he's intended, as utterly without mercy or compassion, and coldly able to mete out death without pause or regret. The ending here was perfect. Mama miscalculates that Dredd actually cares about innocents. He doesn't. Ultimately he doesn't even value his own life above duty to rigid order. He executes Mama and gambles that her transmitter has a range, but he has no way of knowing for sure; he regards passing her sentence as more important than his life, Anderson's life, and the lives of everyone in that building.

It was a lose-lose scenario for Dredd. If he gives up then she wins and continues to rule over the criminal underworld while still distributing drugs. If he kills her then everyone loses regardless. He had no choice to take a gamble of throwing her off the room and hoping that the signal isn’t strong enough reach that far. Being able to never compromise your duty is truly commendable on his part. You can’t win a war without casualties.
