DREDD (2012):
“In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO.”
Well, this one starts off strong with a chase scene. But, Karl Urban needs to work on hiding his New Zealand accent. He still pronounces “America” as “Ameriker” in the first scene. Karl Urban plays Judge Dredd this time. He does okay. The Judges are executioner cops in the post-apocalyptic Mega-city. They have cool weapons, and don't hesitate to use them. One of the first guy's heads explodes with an explosive shot.
After that, we find out one of the guys was on a futuristic drug called slo-mo. Slo-mo is distributed by Mama (Played by Lena Headey.) Because she owns this part of the Mega-city, she covers it in metal, and no one can get out. A bounty is put on Dredd and his psychic partner's head.
Luckily, the psychic partner can find out where Mama is. The rest of the movie is a story of betrayal (But, not by the partner.) and a bloody shootout. There's a surprise for Mama. It's an ok movie. Especially a good intro with the chase scene. But, it did just make me want to watch the original 1995 movie. I'd say give this one a watch if you have time.
