In the future, the overpopulated and chaotic Mega-City One with 800 million inhabitants occupies the former territory between Boston and Washington and is surrounded by desert. Justice is brought by the judges, who have the power to judge and execute the sentence against those who break the law. The incorruptible Judge Dredd is summoned by the Chief Judge to evaluate the rookie Anderson, who has failed the test for judge but is a mutant with psychic abilities. They witness a murder and chase the killer in a 200-floor building. However the laboratory of slo-mo of the drug lord Ma-Ma is located on the 200th floor and she seals the building, trapping the two judges inside. Then she orders her clan to kill Dredd and Anderson at the beginning of a gore manhunt.

It's no secret that at camp Steve and I bring movies, games, and yes a TV you never know when the weather is going to stink. Whether it be cold or too hot to even rain so we come prepared in fact on Tuesday it came down to just simply being tired. So when we decided to just chill and it was time for a movie. Sadly Steve's pick Dredd read on followers if you must...

Let's get this out of the way now Karl Urban for me was no Sylvester Stalone. In fact, he really annoyed the crap out of me although he did a good job sticking to the comic book were the helmet never comes off unlike pretty boy Stalone. Don't be fooled it is also the slow pace and boring storyline that takes place over one day that keeps you yawning. The sound effects and soundtrack are the only saving grace when it comes to Dredd and it did its part keeping me mildly interested.

Steve truly feels like I'm a fool for not getting into this action-packed redux and his love for Lean Headey who I guess is a queen in Game of Thrones (Something else I just can not get into) being totally badass, and this is where we agree Ma-Ma (Headey) ranks up there with Batman's Joker as being a hardass that shows no mercy I really liked her part and she killed it. One other part I found to be cool was the slow-motion effects used for the Slo-Mo drug but in the end, it was hard for me to stay awake as for Dredd and it's lackluster charters that I just could not latch onto made for a very boring action flick.

Sorry, Steve, I can only give Dredd...
