I'm sure it would have come up before in the many hundreds of posts on this topic, but Ma-Ma's bomb was the only thing it he film that didn't make much logistic sense to me personally - surely simply stunning, or giving her a non-fatal shot, then carrying her out is a no-brainer? Or even just accompanying her out of the building by force? The only thing it could prevent is immediate execution. No judge would simply walk away, though she didn't seem to have another exit plan. Also, taking the device out of range sounds like it would have the same effect as the heartbeat stopping, ie no heartbeat signal, so that's a risky business.

I felt like it should have had a far better twist considering Dredd just did to her what we've already seen done in the film. Maybe if we hasn't seen slo-mo already used that way the first time...

Yeah, the heartbeat sensor mcguffin was a bit rubbish. But hey, if that's all I can find wrong with the film I ain't complainin'.

 I'm not sure if this has been reported already but Dredd is on Sky Box Office/FilmFlex from Monday. In the RadioTimes 'Films worth paying for... section, the review reads This gritty and very violent reboot of the 2000 AD comic-strip written by long-time fan Alex Garland thrillingly embraces the dark heart of the source material... ...This is brisk and brutal film-making. Four stars. The write-up is accompanied by a little picture of Dredd.

Stew.

The heartbeat sensor makes sense if you think about it this way: it sends the signal to the bomb for the bomb to blow only once the heartbeat has stopped. If the sensor is out of range, the signal to trigger the bomb can't notify it's receiver. You clearly see that at the end when the light stops flashing and turns red. It's trying to transmit.

Spot on. If the trigger isn't sent it wont go off.

For gods sake, watch Dredd one more time before you do, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

You just pulled me back form the brink,that story and the fact Jar Jar Abrams  is directing the new Star Wars was just too much to take first thing.....I'm better now(ish)

While the probabilities of a sequel are minute, that is not an official statement, that's a presumption by a journalist about an auction we've known about since last year:

The film obviously won't be getting a sequel, which is why the studio is now auctioning off all the props from the movie.
