That was a great scene, he saw the shots through the wall... he could have spun and avoided a few shots and had the other judge just come around the corner and most likely blow him away- he knew where he would get shot and it would not instantly kill him, he took a breath and bore it the best he could to buy himself some more time for Anderson to get there.The quality of Dredd was in it's simplicity and a lot of small details. The interaction between Dredd and the cadet was simple but sweet. I enjoyed some of the ways they showed the power of the cadet's psychic abilities. The slo mo effects between what it did to the environment and how damage looked were incredible. It was done so well that people watching the movie might could understand why a character would want to try the drug. The outright blunt violence was refreshing. So many actions movies consider red liquid to be taboo and thus all characters have only a couple of ounces of blood in them. Dredd even got shot. The hero was shot and severely hurt.
It was a culmination of a lot of small elements that made the movie well worth watching. My only concern would be the attempt at doing it again with a sequel, but I am all for them trying.
Random note on Anderson, her tits where much bigger than expected, the uniform did a good job at de-sexualizing her (as most uniforms etc are meant to do- create a standard base)
I am glad they didn't make the slo-mo drug used for fighting or whatever to make people super matrix people- it slowed the brain to 1% that includes reaction time etc etc
