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.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The film takes place in a futuristic society after much has been destroyed with atomic radiation. Law enforcement officers are called Judges as they act as judge, jury and executioner. Society is attempting to regain law and order, but is losing. Drugs compromise the largest aspect of law enforcement. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) whose face we never see, is cold, calculating, and strictly by the book enforcer. He is assigned a rookie (Olivia Thirlby) who is a mutant and has special mind reading powers.When a triple homicide happens at a block high rise, our duo goes to investigate only to uncover a large scale drug operation. The drug is called "slo-mo" and gives one a slow motion sensation which adds to the special effects as we get to see plenty of slow motion killings.At this point the feature becomes akin to a video game where our two judges must ascend a a locked down high rise clearing out levels in order to reach Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) the leader.There is plenty of action. In fact the film is almost all action. The sound track was fast paced. Along with the heavy action and blood, one could claim this was similar to a Tarantino grindhouse. Parental Guide: F-bombs, brief sex, brief distant nudity (?), lots and lots of blood and some brain splatter.
Dredd is a good action film. It doesn't have much of anything else, but it certainly is that.I absolutely loved the Slo-Mo drug, it was great for effects and it seemed quite practical. I haven't seen the original in a very long time, but I recall Dredd having a bit more personality with Stallone and while the action may be a bit better here, that doesn't make it a better film. I don't think there is a whole lot of acting in this film, so I couldn't really say if it was good or bad. Dredd is quite simple, but it has the right violent harsh tone required for such a film. The ending was a bit of letdown, but I can still say I enjoyed it.
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.
It is relatively known that most reboots don't always hit their mark. Dredd is not one of those reboots. A gritty, modern take on the classic Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Dredd presents and simple plot that feels original. It is able to feel more like a continuation. It doesn't try to tell the same story as the original, just the same bleak dystopian world and the same Judge Dredd. The action is very good and the visuals were amazing. The violence is over the top and it works so well. If you're a fan of the original or a newcomer, this movie is definitely worth a watch.
