Dredd (2012): A Gritty, Violent Adaptation of the Classic Comic

In a dystopian future, Mega-City One is a violent metropolis policed by Judges who act as judge, jury, and executioner. When Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) and rookie psychic Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) investigate a triple homicide, they become trapped in a high-rise controlled by ruthless drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). This gritty, action-packed adaptation stays true to the dark tone of the original 2000 AD comic.
