A History of Violence was a really good post 2000 ~action film, I liked it anyway. Gonna rewatch I think.
And the comic it was based on was written by the same guy who created Judge Dredd!

With Stallone Dredd, the biggest problem was that the screenwriter either missed the point or really hated that Dredd is basically a brutal fascist thug, and kept complaining that "This guy's a NAZI! He needs to be more sympathetic and likeable! Funnier! He needs to grow and change and have a proper character arc where he learns from his mistakes and becomes a better person by the end of the movie, and he also needs to kiss the girl!" :v:

anyone who is a fan of action movies really needs to see Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64PlESTxu1M

it's like a psychological horror movie in some parts and in others it's just dudes beating the loving poo poo out of each other

From that scene it looks like a stupid movie. Are they robots or aliens or something? They take crazy hits and keep fighting way beyond the pale. A fight scene shouldn't be all deathblows that both guys just shrug off. Lol the bad guy takes hits from a baseball bat and uses his arm to block it for no damage it's really stupid.

Uh they are universal soldiers. This is some shameful action movie ignorance here, I'm pretty embarrassed for you.

They're genetically enhanced soldier clone men.

Question: Do you want to see Jean-Claude Van Damme get hacked in the arm with a machete, then pull the machete out, then use it as his own weapon? Watch Universal Soldier.

I don't know what universal soldiers are is that like Kurt Russel in that Soldier movie because that was pretty good. This one looks like it was written by a 14 year old.
