The future world is an irradiated waste land. Somewhere, off an eastern coast, lies Mega City One – a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban police force known simply as the "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury, and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.
During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities due to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture – a 200 story vertical slum controlled by prostitute-turned-drug lord, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a brutal, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.
Grim, gritty and ultra-violent, Dredd reinstates the somber brutality missing from the U.K. comicbook icon's previous screen outing.
Clearly made with love by people who have read the comics and understand what makes Joe Dredd tick, it's a focussed and thoroughly entertaining take on one of the most enduring characters in British comics.
Dredd is a grimy, smoldering, relentless 90 minutes that manages to inject its in-your-face fight scenes with an unexpected bit of humanity.
It makes 'Dirty Harry' look like '12 Angry Men.'
Lets see how a movie of the real Judge Dredd fares
The effects kinda look like a low budget web series.
So, wait, is this a rip-off of The Raid: Redemption, or are both these movies ripping off The Horde, or maybe Assault on Precinct 13?
Going to playing your babby games, NERD.
spoiler (click to show/hide)guess i have nothing to fap tonight tonight now[close]
Dredd was 6th at the Box Office making only 6.3 Million.
Fuck this earth.
It's an R-rated movie of a lesser known IP. I saw it Friday night yet the usually busy theater was practically empty. I really it was cheaply made.

$45-$50 million, about half of what the original cost back in 1995.
