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.

One of the most underrated movies in the last few years, Dredd provides an action filled escape from reality by taking you inside the walls of Mega City One, to the ruthless streets & blocks policed the men & women of the halls of justice... The Judges!Directed by Pete Travis, this is a superb film showing how action films can and should be done. Unfortunately, the film tries to make use of 3D technology with the aim of giving a more immersive experience for the viewer and although 3D technology (in film) is now defunct, this doesn't detract from the action sequences in anyway.Karl Urbans performance as Dredd is spot on and fans of Judge Dredd will not be let down.. a calm, resolute, stern and weary character that accurately portrays what years of bringing justice to the streets of Mega City One would feel like.The storyline is relatively simple too, and closely resembles the Indonesian film The Raid (another excellent film). Detractors of Dredd might feel it stole the plot, but Dredd was conceived first and all similarities are most likely down to pure coincidence. If you haven't seen this film, then add it to the top of your list as it's a must!!Here's hoping they eventually make a much deserved sequel with Karl Urban reprising the role.

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.

Soooo I think I love this movie and also I usually can't stand watching the same one (movie) more then once, but this.. this just doesn't get boring (drug like effect?). Main actors are perfect, but everyone working on it did an outstanding job and it shows in every scene.P.S. If they ever decide to make a sequel I hope we get to see Olivia Thirlby again (alongside Karl Urban), but now as a kick-ass judge Anderson.

I love this movie in 3D!They have a lot of scenes filmed with Phantom High FPS Cameras and these look just increddible.When they take the slowmo drug everything seems like a super slow mo wonderland.Love the movie just because of the awesome effects. Worth watching.
