Review of Dredd (2012) by Christian P — 10 Nov 2013
Pete Travis' Dredd is much truer to the comic book character than the previous film adaptation that starred Sylvester Stallone. Like the comics' Judge Dredd, Karl Urban never takes his helmet off, so the character is defined by his stern jaw.
The remake foregoes available science fiction elements to become a gritty cop action flick. Dredd and his rookie partner Judge Anderson are trapped inside a massive apartment complex ruled by a drug queen-pin.
Much bloodshed follows.
