Dredd

Director Pete Travis delivers a potent sci-fi film with this terrific action thriller. In a futuristic city where the police have absolute power to act as judge, jury and executioner, a judge and a trainee try to bring down a powerful crime lord which proves more than a challenge for both. Based on the iconic comic book by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra, Travis and writer Alex Garland found the right way update the film into a gritty action film that stays true to it source material. Karl Urban stars and fits the role along with Olivia Thirlby and a terrific Lena Headey in the supporting roles. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
