'Dredd (2012)' is much better than the Stallone version. This gritty and true-to-the-comics adaptation has plenty of brutal action and sharp dialogue. The characters are relatable, the world is excellently painted and Urban's performance is on-point. The taut pace keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, and it's this that is perhaps the piece's greatest strength. That, and the fact it is a proper adult science-fiction aimed at the same audience as its source-material. It doesn't compromise and feels almost like a pulpy 80s move in the best way possible, stripped back and bloodthirsty. It's a remarkable achievement considering its budget. 7/10.
