DREDD is a sci-fi action film people are likely to ignore unfortunately even though it is much better than the Sylvester Stallone take on it in the first adaptation (known as JUDGE DREDD) of the famous comic book hero in the British comic book magazine 2000 A.D. due to smart direction, a well written script from Alex Garland, and a Clint Eastwood inspired performance from Karl Urban.   In DREDD, Judge Dredd (Urban) is assigned with assessing the performance of Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) who has strong telepathic abilities and has below performance scores for being a Street Judge.  It is the future where humanity has walled themselves in big cities that stretch for hundreds of miles.  Mega-City One has a population of 800 million and it is location in the North American section of what is known as the cursed Earth.   Only one percent of crimes are investigated and a new drug called Slow-Mo is on the streets.  Slo-Mo makes the user experience time at one percent of real time.   Dredd and Anderson investigate three murders in the Peach Trees City Block which is controlled by Ma-Ma.  They become trapped in the building when they take prisoner the guy who knows all about Ma-Ma's operations.   She wants both judges dead as Dredd and Anderson must engage in a fight for their lives.
