Dans un avenir proche, les Etats-Unis ne sont plus qu'un immense désert irradié. Mega City One est une métropole tentaculaire rongée par le vice. La seule forme d'autorité restante est représentée par les juges, une police urbaine qui cumule toutes les fonctions : flic, juge et bourreau. Une nouvelle drogue se propage, la Slo-Mo, qui permet de percevoir la réalité au ralenti. Sa distribution est contrôlée par Ma-Ma, ancienne prostituée, devenue baronne de la drogue. Dredd, le juge ultime, va se voir assigner une mission dans les environs de la tour de Ma-Ma et va devoir s'y confronter. (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Bien que ce ne soit pas particulièrement dynamique, cela déborde d'une atmosphère post-apocalyptique sombre et captivante, ainsi que d'une épopée impressionnante. Et il n’a pas peur de suivre sa propre voie, de se moquer du courant dominant et de déverser des idées. De plus, il y a une incroyable actrice de premier plan pour incarner une badasse. Comme le meilleur volet de Resident Evil, mais sans les zombies et les monstres. Tout ce dont je rêvais à l'âge de 14 ans avec une VHS intitulée Blade Runner mais qui n'avait pas su combler mes attentes et mes exigences de l'époque :-)

If the creators’ goal was to fix Dredd’s movie reputation after the ’95 fiasco, then… It went from bad to worse to the very worst. At least they stayed true to the original. But what good does that do when not even the greatest film talent would be able to create a movie (not to mention a good one) out of a display of unashamed gore and ultra-annoying ultra-slow-motion shots. Let alone a predictable bore like Travis.

I’d been meaning to watch Dredd for ages and, honestly, I’m kicking myself for waiting so long. It’s an absolute blast—a straightforward, action-packed ride where Karl Urban absolutely owns the role of Judge Dredd, clearly having the time of his life. Olivia Thirlby as his rookie sidekick is also fantastic, looking way more badass here than in any of her Google pics. And let’s not forget Lena Headey, who crushes it as the deranged villain. The whole film has this gritty cyberpunk vibe, though with its tight budget, it feels more like a South African slum than some sleek futuristic dystopia.

From start to finish, a sough-after bit of nonsense that unwittingly joins hands with its inept predecessor from the 90s. It is all the more amusing that it strives so hard not to be such an unnecessary addition. And yet Karl Urban goes unused, the attractive Olivia Thirlby has a thankless role as a talented rookie, Lena Headey as the main attraction never steps out of the box of the anonymous antagonist, and the brutal action becomes boring after the third shootout. I don't understand what happened to Alex Garland's creative talent, which he obviously possesses in spades. Most of the time Dredd only hints at its world, showcasing only a few fragments and instead giving far more space to blatantly inaccessible scenes, and slow-motion shots that are, forgive me, plain stupid (without which this movie would have lasted no more than a weak hour).

I wasn’t looking forward to it. I don’t know the comics, I didn’t watch the first Judge Dredd, I don’t like this kind of action B-movies, and the trailer was repellent. In short, the ideal position for a movie to surprise me. And it did. It’s brutal, with a dose of exaggeration so perfectly balanced that it doesn’t look cringe, but cool. Everything is properly intense: the visuals, the violence, the dialogues, the actors; everything is over the top, but not too much. Dredd can be considered utter bullshit, and many people will for sure. But for me it’s a distinctive, engaging, intense and purposeful movie without much competition in its sub-genre.
