Shot in South Africa, set in Mega City One, a massive conurbation of an overpopulated, dystopian America of the near future, this 3D adventure of the comic book Judge Dredd centres on his supervising a female rookie in his fascistic, vigilante organisation. Most of the action is set inside a decrepit, locked-down, 200-storey high rise controlled by vicious gang boss Ma-Ma (Lena Headey). Dredd talks like Clint Eastwood with laryngitis, and the part of the face not concealed by his mask looks like Sly Stallone. Inferior to the similar Indonesian The Raid, but a great night out for unfastidious, unsqueamish loners.
