He really is beginning to understand that the system he serves is flawed 😞

[@elfossea13]

To me one of the really smart things about the movie is the action. We tend to dismiss such things during a deep analysis, but it's pretty important in an action movie! If you really analyze the way anderson and Dredd shoot, they're using their ammo very efficiently, or not depending on the situation. At the beginning, during the raid on the den, Dredd fires large bursts, not caring too much about ammo expenditure because he's not trapped and he wants to put down the criminals as fast and safely as possible, he intends to go back to the hall of justice, but after the stairway fight and being refused refuge, they switch to single shot, and Dredd uses his limited special ammo very carefully and efficiently. When using incendiary, he doesn't fire it at random, he sets a trap, waits for when it'll be the most effective, then takes out a large amount of ennemies in a controlled fire that won't spread. He uses the stun rounds on the kids, he never misses a shot with his normal ammo, aiming for vital areas every time, not requiring follow ups, he uses high ex twice, once to destroy the wall to escape and then when he is completely out of ammo, meaning he conserved it, knowing how extremely useful those can be. He doesn't pick up ammo from the other judges because they have different guns, and the ammo wouldn't fit, except for lex who has the same gun as him. Anderson or Dredd don

Not just DNA coded, DNA trapped: if you attempt to operate them without unlocking they'll kill you too.

One thing I thought was why he passed Anderson was a few changes in her. At the beginning they were to raid the drug den. She is standing there nervous and uncertain. "You don't look ready." Then after she releases the techie she tells him she failed when she lost her primary weapon. This would be her doing one good thing as a judge. Then going up as Anderson, believing she has failed is geared up and hardened to finish things. "You look ready." I also want to say. One bit on Dredd endangering the civilian at the beginning. During the chase Dredd was not shooting. The escaping men ran down a civilian. On that action Dredd reports he is switching to lethal. Meaning he was not initially going to kill those men. And he considered the civilian to already be in danger. So the risk with his shot was less than what the criminal was going to do.

[@PHANTOMZ0NE]

This was the best analysis of the film Dredd as a whole. Very well done!

[@joshualaturno4227]

Immediately clicked on this in my last few minutes of work

[@mikeropaynus410]

Was wondering why this McDonald’s drive through was taking forever

[@zigleee111]

I love your videos so much especially the black mirror ones! you deserve much more recognition

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Thank you Adam, I appreciate that!

[@nilayzaveri468]

Beautifully made video. I think I'll come back to this every time I see Dredd again.

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

That's amazing to hear, thank you!

[@Allthetube01]

Damn, that was a good analysis of one of my top movies of all times as well.

[@NomNomPhenomenom]

ps how has your video not gotten more views! this is criminal ur analysis is neat!

[@striderchris]

This is one of the few movies I wished I saw in 3D in the theatre.

[@universalcollective427]

Dredd was and still is so so very excellent, glad you gave it the full breakdown treatment it richly deserves, Ex Machina is sheer brilliance, Devs was fantastic, but imho Annihilation was pretentious boring scifi 101 and didn't do a single thing for me

[@heetsees]

Nobody like annihilation

[@NomNomPhenomenom]

i had to click on this!! dredd was my favourite movie to play drinking games to as a kid and would just vibe whilst watching, it was such a rewatchable gem

[@SuperVstech]

Amazing movie adaptation. It’s a good thing they only made one Dredd movie. And they did such an amazing job with this.

[@strafer8764]

This was the second Dredd movie.

[@quinbenson]

Beats Stallone's movie into a crumpled hatful of drokk.

[@kosmaspiratos6583]

Amazing movie 👍🏻

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Agreed!

[@prjndigo]

I think you got the Anderson situation a little wrong. Dredd *IS* the Law. The rules of evaluation don't matter: whether she can do the job does. She did the job.

[@jukio02]

Anderson gave her badge to Dredd because she is an honest person. She knew she failed, so that's why she did what she did. But, Dredd gave her a pass because she had the spirit of a Judge.

[@salmon_wine]

which i think goes to show that Dredd doesnt really follow rules "blindly" at all, just that his cold nature comes from years of dealing with the city, and having been "blunted" because of it... but Anderson sharpened him up a bit, maybe even pulling him "back from the brink," so to speak

[@seannorthern8854]

Just a thought: Perhaps the treatment of the homeless vagrant, and the 96% unemployment rate is another nod to the 2000 AD comic book. In the lore, the MegaCities are almost fully automated, and all citizens are provided a kind of Universal Basic Income (UBI). This means that most citizens are canonically unemployed, but all are provided for... mostly. Also canonically, crime is mostly due to a combination of boredom and overpopulation.

[@janjansen6443]

That does not make sense at all, how can that be correct look how poor people are, there lives are very bad.

[@AG-en5y]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@freakysmart5265]

Karl Urbans English is amazing

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

It's so good!

[@Whatever4690]

With Dredd its very much the Batman question of does the hero make things worse in the long term to improve the short term.

[@d6udu6o8y]

wait so why is the building in the end not exploded? Thougt mama was dead

[@noahcharles2571]

Actually he was sitting right under the center of a security gate controled by computers they were trying to get him to move but he died trying to ignore the warning!

[@noahcharles2571]

Also the reason judges can only react to 6 percent of criminal activity is because of over population and radiation outside the city walls makes it so mega citys is the only place to live to survive! It's also the reason for food shortages overpopulation! In and overpopulated City you can't help everybody you have to choose who you want to help carefully it's a real world problem they have in places like China and Japan where overpopulation is normal they try to help who's important not everybody

[@lisavo587]

You know, for a movie that is widely admired, it really didn’t do so well at the box office

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

I think it had to do with the marketing. After its release on Blu-ray and digital, it got way more recognition

[@christophertaylor4703]

Wish they made a 2nd

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Same!

[@Turvelx]

They wanted 3D because they already had it in the title 😗

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Oh you're right haha

[@discharge29]

The fact a sequel has not been made is a huge travesty - in the days of marvel/dc wokeness this film was a fucking huge shining light

[@zacgraham3976]

first

[@Gedagnors]

I really don't know what's there to explain about comix subculture. We are not talking about ancient philosophy, it's just a hollywood entertainment. Sorry, but I don't see how this is deep or full of thoughts. Of course, it's only my opinion and Spider Man is as deep as Socrates...
