About this movie

The America of the post-apocalyptic future is an irradiated wasteland, a vast, ultra-violent world where criminals control the mean city streets. Ultimate law enforcers like Dredd and his new partner, Anderson, are Judges - the only force battling for justice. Dispatched by the central authority, the Judges' target is Ma-Ma, a ruthless boss bent on expanding her criminal empire through sales of Slo-Mo, a dangerous reality-altering drug. With Dredd calling the shots, the two Judges declare full-scale war on crime in this unrelenting and brutal thrill ride. © Rena Films (PTY) Ltd. and Peach Tree Films Ltd. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

Much better than I had anticipated. And better than anything Stallone could have imagined. Great job on bringing the comic to the screen. Lots of blood & gore, so this is not a flick for the squeamish. Still lots of fun. Waiting for a sequel now.

Not sure why everyone likes this. Yes, its better than the previous version, but it has only one dimesion - Ultra-violence. I guess within the framework of the world it sorta works, but the story is so linear that the "twists" don't even come as a surprise.

Awesome movie, the visuals are on point, the characters are authentic to the comics. Karl Urban never takes his helmet off, Stalone gave this franchise a bad name. I wish they made a sequel but the initial sales were too low when it was released.
