Critics Consensus

Fueled by bombastic violence and impressive special effects, rooted in self-satire and deadpan humor, Dredd 3D does a remarkable job of capturing its source material's gritty spirit.

Read Critics Reviews

Tim Grierson Deadspin If Hollywood is going to be indicted for making mindlessly violent action films, let them at least be as good as this one. Feb 12, 2013 Full Review Calum Marsh Slant Magazine Whether by design or otherwise, Dredd seems better-suited to a 2D home video presentation than to the 3D silver screen. Rated: 3/4 Dec 30, 2012 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle I may have never seen a nonhorror film as relentlessly, brutally, and crowd-pleasingly violent as this skintight adaptation of the long-running British comic-book character. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 28, 2012 Full Review Iván Kazi EscribiendoCine It is as ponderable in its entirety as in the sum of its parts. It is, fundamentally, a beating to the senses. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 10/10 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review When so many action films rely on shaky camera work and a seemingly rushed assemblage of shots strung together by a wired editor, Dredd is as calculated as its hero. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 25, 2022 Full Review Travis Johnson Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) A great sci-fi action film, one that hints at a broader, weirder world while maintaining a tight focus on the matter at hand.

LimeySpud Captured the spirit of Judge Dredd perfectly. Brilliant adaptation of the comic strip. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Andrew It was a wonderful re-release and should be seen by more people! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review christina w It was boring and a bit corny at times. Perhaps I dont have a full appreciate for this video game made movie but for it to be action sci-Fi it was not giving excitement or intrigue. Would not recommend. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Shane O I could t make it though this one . Bad acting , super cheesy . Not interesting Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Matthew M This Dredd is infinity better than Stallone's. Urban & Thrilby give amazing performances. This is dark as the source material. This movie is the as intended version of Dredd. One can only hope these two are paired again on a sequel. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review alan g Ultra graphic violence. No punches pulled. High body count. Not for the faint of heart. True to the comics. Keith Urban and Olivia Thirlby are excellent. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis Mega City One is a vast, violent metropolis where felons rule the streets. The only law lies with cops called "judges," who act as judge, jury and executioner, and Dredd (Karl Urban) is one of the city's most feared. One day, Dredd is partnered with Cassandra (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities. A report of a terrible crime sends Dredd and Cassandra to a dangerous area controlled by Ma-Ma (Lena Headey), a drug lord who will stop at nothing to protect her empire.
