The "Judge Dredd" comics are incredibly popular in Britain, and the Stallone film, fun as it may be, did not totally satisfy comic-book fans looking for an ambitious adaptation. Slick, straightforward and entertaining, Dredd is a modern compliment to, and possibly an improvement on, the original film. He is joined by a new recruit, Cassandra Anderson (Thirlby), to infiltrate the Peach Trees tower and root out a vicious drug trafficker, Madeline Madrigal aka Ma-Ma (Headey), who has consumed the upper floors with her criminal empire. In a dystopian future, Judges also serve as jury and executioner, and Urban's Judge Dredd patrols the squalor and high rises of Mega-City One in a killer metal helmet. Written by Alex Garland ( Ex Machina), Dredd stars Karl Urban, in the title role, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey. Pulled from the pages of a comic strip, Pete Travis' Dredd is the second live-action version of the material, after the Sylvester Stallone-led Judge Dredd that was released in 1995.
