Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.

Sick Product of a Sick System
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
This is the real Dredd. This is the single-point focus, straight ahead, nothing but the Dredd, Dredd. And with a totally cool sidekick. His opponent is just as perfectly done. Everything with this movie is right. Bravo!
'Dredd (2012)' is much better than the Stallone version. This gritty and true-to-the-comics adaptation has plenty of brutal action and sharp dialogue. The characters are relatable, the world is excellently painted and Urban's performance is on-point. The taut pace keeps you on the edge-of-your-seat throughout, and it's this that is perhaps the piece's greatest strength. That, and the fact it is a proper adult science-fiction aimed at the same audience as its source-material. It doesn't compromise and feels almost like a pulpy 80s move in the best way possible, stripped-back and blood-thirsty. It's a remarkable achievement considering its budget. 7/10
I have watched Dredd five times now and i like it more every time. Perfect actors, perfect soundtrack, perfect CGI, perfect Dredd. I just dont understand the 7.1 rating here. its a 8.5 at least. Give it a try, you will love this masterpiece. Its a welcome change to the general stupidity which plagues blockbuster movies now a days.
This is a film that does it's source tremendous justice, judge, jury and executed perfectly. As much as I didn't really mind Stallone's Judge Dredd back in the days where camp was par the course, this truly does redeem the franchise as far as films go.
