Dredd (2012)
Dredd is a lean, brutal and brilliantly crafted science fiction action film released in 2012 and directed by Pete Travis, with a screenplay by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later). Set in the vast, crime-ridden Mega-City One, Karl Urban stars as Judge Dredd — judge, jury and executioner — who takes rookie psychic Judge Anderson (Olivia Thirlby) on an assessment day that goes catastrophically wrong when they become trapped inside the 200-storey Peach Trees tower block, controlled by the ruthless drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). Garland's screenplay strips the concept back to its essentials and delivers a film of extraordinary efficiency and intensity. A cult classic that was criminally underseen on release but has since been recognised as one of the finest comic book adaptations ever made. The 3D Blu-ray presentation is exceptional, particularly in the Slo-Mo drug sequences.
Highlights
- Karl Urban as Dredd — Urban never removes his helmet and delivers the entire performance through jaw, voice and body language alone; it is a masterclass in physical acting and the definitive screen portrayal of the character.
- The Slo-Mo sequences — The film's drug of choice slows perception to 1% of normal speed; cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle shoots these sequences in extraordinary slow-motion with hyper-saturated colour, creating some of the most visually stunning images in recent action cinema.
- Lena Headey as Ma-Ma — A cold, quietly terrifying villain; Headey brings real menace and a surprising vulnerability to the role, and her backstory gives the film's antagonist genuine depth.
- Alex Garland's screenplay — Ruthlessly efficient and completely focused; Garland strips away everything non-essential and delivers a film that never wastes a scene, a line or a moment. The single-location structure is handled with complete mastery.
- The 3D presentation — One of the best uses of 3D in the format's history; the Slo-Mo sequences in particular are designed specifically for the format and the depth of field in the tower block sequences is genuinely impressive.
