Dredd. My favourite film of last year, without a doubt. I can't think of anything bad to say about it. Maybe Mega City isn't quite the city I know from the comics but Urban IS Dredd, the stylised violence makes the film look amazing despite its smallish budget and the whole film has a Verhoeven style satirical edge that makes it the only film that's come close to being effectively comparable to Robocop. The Raid plot comparisons are groundless too. Similar plots have appeared in Judge Dredd comics on a regular basis since the Apocalypse War. Excellent 4.5/5
