While you never actually see his face under that hood, he does an excellent job at portraying this no-nonsense cop with a dry wit, and sarcastic sense of humor. It had been a few years since the last time I saw this film, but watching it again now, I was reminded of just how awesome it is! However, the graphic level of violence helps to evoke a comic book feel, which hearkens back to the roots of the character. The action is non-stop and the violence is bloody, and often over the top. From start to finish you are on the edge of your seat, wondering what new threat awaits Dredd & Anderson around the next corner, and are constantly questioning how these two judges could possibly survive and make it out of this building alive. Now Dredd and Anderson are trapped inside and must try to avoid or take out Ma-Ma’s seemingly-endless stream of goons as they look for a way out of this deadly building.ĭredd is an action-packed, high-octane thrill ride.

However, Ma-Ma is afraid of what her employee might reveal, and so with the help of her techie lackey (Domhnall Gleeson), she locks down the building and cuts off all communications. Dredd and Anderson learn that the complex is controlled by drug kingpin Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), and in their raid, they manage to capture one of her lieutenants to take back for questioning. Slo-Mo makes the brain feel like time is passing at 1% of its normal speed, an so victims had a long time to think about their impending deaths.

They answer the call and soon discover that the victims had inhaled a dangerous new drug called Slo-Mo before plummeting hundreds of stories to their death. The new partners receive a report of multiple homicides at the Peachtrees complex, which houses 75,000 people. Anderson is a mutant with psychic powers-she can read and manipulate people’s minds-a skill that could come in very handy in the field while trying to question perps. Anderson failed her applicant exam, but she has have given her a second chance due to her special abilities. However, he has just been assigned the task of assessing a young rookie, Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), to see if she has what it takes to become a Judge. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is a no-nonsense kind of guy who takes his job very seriously, and prefers to work alone. The cop-like Judges respond to reports of criminal behavior and serve as judge, jury and executioner right on the spot. Crime is rampant, but a new justice force has been established. People now live in giant megastructures the size of city blocks, each containing a whole society within its walls. Giant walls have been erected around the habitable area, creating a massive city that stretches from Boston to Washington D.C. In the future, America has become an irradiated wasteland.
