I remember when I was younger that there was always rumor that clint Eastwood should play Judge Dredd. This looked very apt as Dredd has always been drawn that way and he even has that Dirty Harry feel to him. Now we have a new Dredd with kiwi Karl Urban and it looks like he is playing Eastwood playing Dredd. The trailer is good and it shows how damn corny the dialogue is but I think it is a credit to Urban that he actually pulls of the “ I am the law “lines.

This trailer was up against the new animation from Fox called Epic. Now Epic was winning at first with its graphics and epic style music and then it takes it stupid turn and starts getting goofy in the last seconds. It totally through me off and then Dredd won.

Here is the LAW … I mean plot-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 (Karl Urban) 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.

The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and director Pete Travis bring DREDD to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film. Filmed in 3D with stunning slow motion photography sequences, the film returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip
