Dredd - A Review

4.5 Stars - Badass

So remember that shitty Judge Dredd film with Sylvester Stallone? Well expunge that from you mind, sit back and enjoy this new, badass Dredd, who within the opening ten minutes is better than the original film.

Dredd is an epic action film with Dredd and mutant rookie Judge Anderson, whose mutation is psychic powers, get locked in a 200 story tower block by Cersei Lannister and Avon Barksdale and their army of thugs. Sure its the plot of the Raid, but it is badass. Hell even the 3D is pretty good, especially in the slow motion sequences.

Urban is a great Dredd, he is completely unphased by even the worst things and kills people in style. Olivia Thirlby is also great as Anderson, she makes a good audience proxy and also gains a lot of strength throughout the film.

A Lannister always repays her debts... bitch.

To sum up, a great film, well worth a watch.
