Overview

In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.

Viewing Notes

i slept on this because I was not convinced. I was wrong.

This has some hyper violent awesomeness. Tons of action and a few laughs. The only thing I would say about this is that it’s THE RAID-lite. Has some similarities but none of the suspense. I never felt anxious or nervous for the hero.

This doesn’t mean it’s not a fun 95 minutes, because is sure as hell is.
