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.

Holy peak. Dredd is not what I expected at all. This film falls into a category that really is one of a kind. It takes action and uses art to elevate it to something new entirely. The only other movie I can think of that really does the same is Mad Max Fury Road. This is so much more psychedelic than I expected too. I can easily see my rating of this going up with more viewings

Saw this in cinemas when it came out and thought it nailed the brief. Still do!
