Dredd

IMDb writes, "In a violent, futuristic city where the police have the authority to act as judge, jury and executioner, a cop teams with a trainee to take down a gang that deals the reality-altering drug, SLO-MO." Karl Urban (Red) is Dredd and Olivia Thirlby (Juno) is the trainee who is also a mutant or psychic. The leader of the gang, Ma-Ma, is rough looking and played by Lena Headey (Game of Thrones). Wood Harris (The Wire) is one of Ma-Ma's men who is captured by the judges. She wants them all dead, so no one find out her master plan. I watched it in 2D and not 3D - which is probable better. The slow motion scenes are vibrant. I had my doubts, but think they all did a good job with the movie based on a graphic novel. Urban did a good job. All in all, I say: SEE IT.

IMDb writes, "In a dystopian future, Dredd, the most famous judge (a cop with instant field judiciary powers) is convicted for a crime he did not commit while his murderous counterpart escapes." In this movie based on the same comic Dredd is played by Stallone (Rocky) and his criminal counter part is played by Armand Assante (Striptease). Diane Lane (Jumper) plays his partner. The movie was good enough for 1995, but doesn't hold up very well now. All in all, I say: RENT IT before seeing the new one.
