Dredd

10th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING! Fuelled by bombastic violence and impressive special effects, Pete Travis’ overlooked adaptation of cult comic book 2000 AD starring Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Boys) as the titular judge, jury and executioner is rooted in self-satire and deadpan humour. Capturing the grit and tone of its source material in a way that the ill-fated 1995 Danny Cannon adaptation starring Sylvester Stallone and Rob Schneider (!!!) never could, DREDD borrows the locked-in approach of 2011 Thai thriller The Raid by sending Judge Dredd and his apprentice partner Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) on a mission to serve drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) within the confines of a 200 storey high-rise.
With a screenplay by Alex Garland (Ex-Machina, Men) and a decade of subsequent superhero franchise entries to compare it to, it’s time to return to Mega City One.
