Action & Adventure
After a Nuclear Apocalypse, the Earth lies in the ruins. Its major territory turned into radioactive desert inhabited by dangerous tribes of mutants. The only "civilized" live could be found in so-called Mega-Cities, where the rest of the humanity tries to survive in massacre fighting with each other for resources, money and drugs. Violent crime wars have achieved their apogee, when the new drug named SLO-MO was invented. This new dope heavily alters reality slowing everything around you in ten times. After taking a doze you can even notice slow motion of particles of smoke vibrating in the fume of your cigar. This happens because your mind and perception accelerates and runs in ten times faster making everything in front of you moving slowly, that's why the stuff was named SLO-MO. The woman standing behind the invention and distributing the drug, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) is going to take control over the entire Mega-City One making the whole its population addicted to her new invention. In this near the state of war situation, two cops (or how they are called in future, Judges) one veteran Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) and one newbie Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) tries to stop Ma-Ma before her dream to gain the control over the city population will come true. In post-apocalyptic future, where traditional principles of judgment are forceless, Judges are endowed with the power to capture, arrest, judge and execute any criminal they encounter. Sometimes all these actions take no more than a second between arrest and execution.
Hit and Run

Hit and Run

Action & Adventure
At the first glance Hit and Run (2012) looks like Knockin' on Heaven's Door (1997) combined with Drive (2011), which is causing some negative expectations, taking into consideration the fact of how many times Knockin' on Heaven's Door was cloned, mostly in disastrous manner. But, it only at the first look, the second one will be stopped in state of total quandary by ill-fitting Bradley Cooper dreads. Bradley is hardly recognizable in Hit and Run, but it's still him playing the partner of former motorcyclist Charlie Bronson with a kind of "shady" past. The movie plot is based on quite untwisted screenplay written by Dax Shepard (who has directed film, too, and played the main protagonist), the story about mad driver who risked everything busting Witness Protection Program, for the sake of one single aim: to bring his beautiful fiancée to Los Angeles where she gets her dream job. If you are about to say something like: "what a stupid idea: to risk your life for girlfriend job?" you better just stop, take a deep breath and rethink it, maybe you'll do the same if gorgeous Kristen Bell was your girlfriend. Changed your mind, duh? Oh, yes, the Kristen and Bradley duo will definitely make you wishing to watch this movie. But let's go back to the plot: while driving to LA, the couple will encounter lots of awkward adventurous including: ex-gang mobs chasing Charlie, his partner seeking buried treasures from criminal past, and, of course cops sitting on their tails.
