Ok so full disclosure, part of me REALLY liked the Stallone one more and I know that’s probably a sin, but I ranked this one higher on a lot of technical and action levels. The action was crisp, the writing was very good at times yet standard for the genre at others, it both felt like the perfect Dredd movie yet not a Dredd movie at all and I actually loved that. Karl Urban was fantastic in his role and Olivia Thirlby played a great companion to it. Urban brought character to a guy who really doesn’t have one and that’s extremely commendable work, with Wood Harris and Lena Headey as great baddies. It was a fun, action packed and very well shot film and a really nice change of pace for a comic book film to play out more like a thriller than an adventure.
