Dredd

Dredd (2012) is a movie staring Karl Urban and Olivia Thirlby. The movie is set in a dystopian world where Urban, who Stars as Judge Dredd, and Thirlby as a Judge (probationary), out for a day of crime fighting.  They find themselves trapped and alone in a building massively high and densely populated but under the control of a drug kingpin.  The movie is a battle of the Judges attempting to arrest, convict and punish the kingpin while the kingpin is attempting to destroy the Judges with her massively large army of thugs.  The movie is tightly filmed with good acting from the cast.  It is a very violent movie but low on the gore.  I find myself thinking about it from time to time so I would say it is definitely memorable. It has a following and people are clamoring for a sequel.  Dark, moody, severe with great directing and cinematography.  It has a refreshing undertone in an unflinching sense of justice from Judge Dredd as he is assailed from all angles with the injustices of the day.
