*** Special mention really needs to be given to that scene. For most of the movie, whenever she's in a firefight, Anderson is following Dredd's lead, only taking initiative when he orders her to, and is very hesitant and unsure. Here, she takes point, and the two effortlessly mow their way through the last of Ma Ma's gang without saying a single world or communicating beyond a few taps and hand gestures. Lose her primary weapon or no, Anderson '''''earned''''' her pass.
