If Hollywood is going to be indicted for making mindlessly violent action films, let them at least be as good as this one.

Whether by design or otherwise, Dredd seems better-suited to a 2D home video presentation than to the 3D silver screen.

I may have never seen a nonhorror film as relentlessly, brutally, and crowd-pleasingly violent as this skintight adaptation of the long-running British comic-book character.

A Judge Dredd for the 21st century: humorless, scowling and shot in murky 3-D.

While not for the squeamish, Dredd 3D is an effectively gritty B movie accentuated by stylish visuals and irreverent humor.

With style and dour charisma to spare, Dredd proves that the smartest way to handle an action plot is often the simplest.

May 01, 2016Dredd was really good surprisingly, I didn't expect it to be this good! Here's what I liked/disliked. Positives: 1. Karl Urban as Dredd, wow he was awesome. He has a very cheesy exaggerated expression and all the better for it, his character just oozes cool and he has some funny moments as well as badass moments! Olivia Thirlby was really good, I honestly felt for her character and she was a great sidekick. Lena Headey as Ma-Ma was just disgusting and her performance was so convincing, you just love to hate her and she did a great job portraying that character. 2. Visuals, style and action; I loved the visuals, this movie is shot well and looks good. The slow-mo scenes are surprisingly gourgeous and this movie is just shot so well. This film is pretty self-aware, it has some cheesy acting but it works for this film honestly and I like the post-apocolypse setting that is realistically portrayed, well for the most part. The action is great, its filmed so well, no shaky cam and quickcut crap. Its all steady and easy to follow. Negatives: 1. My only negatives is that this film doesn't really have enough substance, the story is very simple and the acting is very serviceable. I'm not saying having a simple story and acting is a bad thing but this film doesn't really offer much in terms of substance. I also thought some scenes were a little over the top and some of the special effects especially the minigun shootout were bad. Overall: I liked Dredd, it's a really well made action movie. Its kinda like Robocop in a way and it does borrow some elements from other sci-fi films but it uses those elements to convey its own original premise and it in the end it worked great!Diyar G Super Reviewer

Oct 16, 2015When this came out, I was thinking of the crappy Sylvester Stallone version from the 90s, so I missed it in the theaters. And after seeing it on video, I kick myself every day. Awesome sci-fi action in the vein of the original Robocop. Owing a nod to "The Raid; Redemption", this film straps you into the roller coaster and speeds away until you finally slam to a stop and scream "again!" A must see for fans of the sci-fi action film.Anthony V Super Reviewer

May 03, 2015For what it intends to do -- minimal as that may be -- it hits the mark. I wouldn't call it a classic, but it is solid, and there are few notable flaws. I'd call it a 3.8 from me.Kyle M Super Reviewer

Dec 26, 2014Taking more from the original comic than the 1995 adaptation, "Dredd" is simple, bloody, gory, gross, action packed, and thrilling. This new Dredd (Urban) is played as a straw man Clint Eastwood, who is vetting a young psychic (Thirlby) for active duty. Their interplay makes for an interesting team, and adds tension to an already thrilling plot. Lena Headey was an sound choice of villain, and she remains threatening throughout, especially when she calls for violence against her own people. Most of the film is set within the confines of a single housing project in a poverty stricken area of a futuristic world. Designer drugs come into play, there's economic and social disparity, and much of the film shows how big this world is without being explicit in details. It's paced rather well, and there's a lot of potential for a sequel. This truly delivers where other action films are happy to stand on the sidelines.Spencer S Super Reviewer
Dredd Quotes
| Ma-Ma: | Peach-trees, this is Ma-Ma. Somewhere in this block are two Judges, I want them dead. Until I get what I want the block stays locked down. |
| Judge Dredd: | Choke on that. |
| Judge Dredd: | Inhabitants of Peach Trees, this is Judge Dredd. |
| Ma-Ma: | Let him talk. |
| Judge Dredd: | In case you people have forgotten, this block operates under the same rules as the rest of the city. Ma-Ma is not the law... I am the law. |
| Judge Dredd: | Ma-Ma is a common criminal; guilty of murder, guilty of the manufacture and distribution of the narcotic known as Slo-Mo, and as of now under sentence of death. Any who obstruct me in carrying out my duty will be treated as an accessory to her crimes... you have been warned. |
| Judge Dredd: | And as for you Ma-Ma... judgement time. |
| Judge Dredd: | America is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, a desert. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Boston to Washington D.C. An unbroken concrete landscape. 800 million people living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega blocks. Mega highways. Mega City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the street. The gun. The gang. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of the Hall of Justice. Juries. Executioners. Judges. |
