Dredd Ratings & Reviews
- Thomas AdkinsMarch 16, 2025Good action movie!
- Jason FulceMarch 4, 2025Dredd is the second action-packed adaptation of the legendary Judge Dredd comics. Directed by Pete Travis and written by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later), the film plunges viewers into the dystopian wasteland of Mega-City One, where law enforcers known as Judges serve as judge, jury, and executioner. Karl Urban stars as Judge Dredd, perfectly capturing his cold, no-nonsense demeanor with a performance that relies more on presence than words—never once removing his iconic helmet, staying true to the source material. Olivia Thirlby plays Judge Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities, whose character arc adds depth and contrast to Dredd’s hardened personality. The film’s antagonist, Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), is a ruthless drug lord who controls a 200-story high-rise slum, making for a contained yet intensely violent battleground. Despite its simple plot—a siege-style story reminiscent of The Raid (2011)—the film excels in world-building, atmosphere, and relentless action.
- RyezooFebruary 15, 2025The slow motion is so awesome in this movie.
- VarunOctober 19, 2024I liked how gory this movie dared to be, and the vibes and vfx were cool but I got bored midway. There’s hardly any character backstories so I didn’t find myself connecting to any of them. Dredd is built up to be this stoic badass juggernaut, which he is, but it comes off as very flat to me when that’s his personality throughout the entire runtime. People compare this to The Raid, but it’s not even close when it comes to the action, it’s just the premise being the same of a cop battling his way through levels of an apartment block. This is a decent entertaining film to pass the time with friends, but seeing it alone was a mediocre experience for me.
