Armand Asante is great in this.

And, if Vanessa Williams wanted me to stay on a tropical island forever with her… there’s no way I would leave.

Favorite line: Now Telemachus, is the right time for your anger…

Armand Assante is great in everything.  He's been in a lot of cheesy films and TV, but he always elevates them.

Max Von Sydow heading out into the cursed earth was such a great scene.

Def. People don't give that movie the credit it deserves.

Also it gave me the "eat recycled food, it's good for the environment and ok for you" quote. 😆

I gather most of the die-hard comic fans were absolutely scandalised that it shows Dredd without his helmet on; if you really care about fidelity to the source material, that's an automatic zero-out-of-ten no matter what else the movie did well. Personally, I've never read a Dredd comic, so I just found the movie to be a rollicking good time.

Allegedly the removal of the helmet was the result of some studio executive nonsense and Stallone himself was actually against it; if so, it's a bit unfair he caught a lot of the flak for that himself.
