Dungeons & Dragons is a phenomenon of our time, more than a game, it is an icon, an industry masquerading as a competitive pastime. It is equally adored and derided, but there is no doubting the seriousness in which those who immerse themselves into the fortunes and constructed tales take as they don the imagination and furnish the creativity, and to those who watch from the sidelines, they cannot help themselves but wish to join in.

If you dare to make a film that immerses itself into a version of Earth’s future, a science fiction cake to which all will chow down upon and take delight in every ingredient, then it could be argued that what is needed is to make the characters as relatable to our current perception of life or at least incorporate that future vision as an understanding of what we fear, what will be the point of impact in which we as a species will no doubt either lose and become meaningless, or rise up, renewed, buoyed by narrowly avoiding the apocalyptic disaster.

A new generation, a new audience, one that gets transplanted out of 1980s Britain and into the heart of 21st Century Chicago politics and undercurrent of American crime, Widows might not have been one that its enormous fanbase might have ever thought needed updating but it is one that works, that makes the absolute use of the grime and seemingly untouchable attitude of modern politics and its strange bedfellow of corruption, criminality and violence.
