The future America is an irradiated waste land. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington DC, lies Mega City One - a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called "Judges" who possess the combined powers of judge, jury and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge - a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of "Slo-Mo" experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed. During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson, a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture - a 200 storey vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan's inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound's control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

| Examiner.comChris SawinFantastically violent, well-written, and constantly captivating, this is one of the most superb action films of the year. |
| SFX MagazineRob PowerAn adrenaline-fuelled thrill burst that does Tharg's finest justice, stays true to its roots and leaves you battered, bruised and hungry for more. |
| NPRJoel ArnoldDredd works because it's an action flick with wide appeal that takes risks it doesn't need to - in its delightfully off-putting violence and daring style - and those choices pay off in a singular and exhilarating movie experience. It's savage, beautiful and loads of fun. |
| Philadelphia WeeklySean BurnsIt's a good deal wittier than expected from a movie that consists mostly of people getting shot in the face. |
| Sci-Fi Movie PageJames O'EhleyThe judges are portrayed pretty uncompromisingly unlike the Stallone flick which tried to tone down the whole Fascist Police State thing. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniA good B-movie makes the grade with retard strength, not by acing math tests, and Dredd has a plot like a sledge hammer. |
| Mania.comRob VauxOnce you get past Urban's magnificent performance, it doesn't feel much like the Mega-City One we expect. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireA wickedly dark comic streak breaks up the vivid violence and relentless bleakness of "Dredd 3D." |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiTruly compelling filmmaking, easy to engage with and rich enough to warrant close analysis. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyUltimately, your reaction to 'Dredd 3D' will depend on your tolerance for an almost breathtaking level of graphic violence. |
