New movie list Dredd The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "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. -- (C) Lionsgate Release Date Dredd Sep 21, 2012 Wide | |

Review For Dredd |
While not for the squeamish, Dredd 3D is an effectively gritty B movie accentuated by stylish visuals and irreverent humor. Claudia Puig-USA Today
We have seen this future. And not only does it not work - it no longer even surprises. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
Proves a surprisingly unimaginative cops vs. drug lord story, complete with the weathered veteran forced to take a rookie under his wing. Frank Lovece-Newsday
My notes are as follows: "Shoot bad guy." "Shoot bad guy." "Shoot bad guy." Kyle Smith-New York Post
This, finally, is the Dredd movie comic book readers have been anticipating. Sean O'Connell-Washington Post
Smartly cast and with a sharp team behind the scenes, there is no good reason why "Dredd 3D" is such a clunk-headed action picture. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
The action is crisp and entrancing, while the dialogue is as good as you could hope for in something like this, stopping short of embarrassing the actors. Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine
Whether by design or otherwise, Dredd seems better-suited to a 2D home video presentation than to the 3D silver screen. Calum Marsh-Slant Magazine
Tonally one-note, and that note is grim, nihilistic, super-stylized, violent and humorless. But it's a spectacular technical feat, hugely loyal to its source ... an extremely expensive arthouse action flick for the die-hard crowd. CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
All gunplay and no guts ... unless you count the brain matter smeared across most of the film. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
Far from the mess of the 1995 Sylvester Stallone version - in which they made the mistake of taking the character's helmet off - this all-new take on the no-nonsense comic book anti-hero is a tightly packed, trapped-in-a-building action blamfest. Jim Schembri-3AW
Grim, stylish, relentlessly violent - this is the balls-to-the-wall Dredd movie fans have been waiting for. Andy Lea-Daily Star
...Dredd is one of the year's purest, most gratifying genre films. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
Never too ambitious in its storytelling, but consistently impressive in execution, Dredd is an outlier in the vast wasteland of Hollywood's overproduction-line. Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
What Dredd lacks in satirical insight - a bizarre oversight, given its dystopian view of America's east coast - it makes up for in sheer brute force and meat-head violence. Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
Dredd not only succeeds as a brilliantly accurate adaptation of the decades-old comic book character, it's also an absolutely blistering and exciting dystopian action movie. Anthony O'Connor-FILMINK (Australia)
Karl Urban (he hates it when I call him little bro) sneers and growls his way through this noir comic book movie as the almost faceless Dredd Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
... suitably grimy and relentlessly violent. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
The Raid meets Zack Snyder meets Robocop Tom Clift-Moviedex
A brutally efficient exercise in B-movie know-how. Scott Wold-Paste Magazine
Overall, Dredd 3D isn't as rich or as deep as The Dark Knight Rises or The Avengers, but it's good, solid comic book fun. Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
If you're the kind of person who scrunches their nose at heads exploding, people being torn apart and blood spilling like an out-of-control fire hose, you might want to return to reading your copy of '50 Shades' and leave this one to the professionals. Patrick Kolan-Shotgun Critic
It's all good, grisly fun, and as Dredd draws to a close with an inevitable setup for a second instalment, what emerges is a stylish film that celebrates and occasionally transcends its B-Movie origins. Andrew Simpson-Fan The Fire
an improvement, to be sure, over the campy excesses of the Stallone incarnation, and yet, it is still all testosterone with no place to go Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
Enough action to fill multi-movies, but not much else to appeal to audiences. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Fans were horrified when Sylvester Stallone managed to turn the declarative statement "I am the law!" into a hammy punchline. Those same folks will now be delighted to learn that Karl Urban has reclaimed the snatch of dialogue for them. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
