Always check for cameras in the hotel room
At First I thought I was watching 13 cameras as it has the same feeling. At first you are pissed off at the main character Bart Bromley (Tye Sheridan) but by the end you are drawn to him, well at least I was.

John Leguizamo plays a tough going Detective and Helen Hunt plays the mom to this autistic main character. Both John and Helen nail the roles, as you would expect from the veteran actor and actress but as for the rest, maybe the next film they will nail down.

I feel the storyline could have been worked on. During some parts, I felt lost and wandering, it seemed to need more filler storyline.

Overall it's not that bad, but if you are tired you may want to hold off till you are wide awake as you may node off some.

The movie isn't scary, but it does make you wonder if you should check the hotel room for camera's the next time you stay at one.

Movie Favorite

"The Hunt. It’s a Danish movie about a guy (Mads Mikkelsen) and he’s been accused of molesting a kid. The other thing that’s great in that movie is he’s got a very noble quality as a man who believes in himself. He’s the kind of guy that if it were to happen to him, the self-righteous indignation, at first, completely f***s him. He rejects it so hard and then he looks guilty. The self-preservation is… He’s not trying to explain himself at all because it’s so insulting: a great quality to act. And that’s like what’s great is that the actor in that film helps solve the puzzle of the movie. If an actor played it differently… What’s great is his flaw; his character flaw is what makes the whole storyline happen. If he could just be a little more direct and not so disdainful, more kind of humble and understanding, it wouldn’t have all gone down. It’s just because he circles the wagons way too quickly; he gets angry too quickly and just makes himself look guilty. So, yeah. I love films like that where you find yourself yelling back at the screen."

Welcome to peach trees
Welcome to Mega-City One, a self contained city, with over 400 million citizens where the only law enforcers are the Judge's who are Judge, Jury & executioner. Filled with mega-structures.

Peach Trees is a 200 Floor mega-structure housing tower, the block is home to more than 75,000 citizens & is Notorious for its crime rate.

Whilst investigating a homicide with rookie Judge with a powerful psychic ability legendary Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) becomes the Target of a vicious and violent Hunt by the Ma-Ma clan when she put the tower into Lockdown!

Karl Urban's portrayal of the comic book Legend and his decision to remain faithful to the character made this movie one not to miss and although the box office was not as successful as it should have been, it has become a cult Hit with audiences all over the world.
Dredd is dark, gritty, well thought out, with a great plot fantastic action and gave us a dredd who doesn't remove his helmet.

Highly recommended.
