I know Dredd when i was play the game at elementary school. At the glance, Dredd looks like The Raid Redemption, but it is different because The Raid is fast paced mixed martial arts flick in a building where a bunch of cops were killed by mafia gang where as in Dredd movie, same plot follows in gigantic Peach Trees housing complex in very advanced high technology style and I am sure many people will love this action. Dredd is such a great character because he executes bad guys and he is incorruptible, and will always fight for what he believes is right, despite the danger of doing it. If it is right or not, the movie leaves to the audience. Karl Urban is excellent as Dredd. His voice is pretty much how I've imagined Dredd to sound for 25 years and his lip curls and jaw acting are fantastic. The rookie Anderson was played by Olivia Thirlby and again, she was excellent. I feel Anderson is a bit touchy feely but here her vulnerabilities added to the character and in truth it's really her film by way of character development. Overall I like this movie.
