Geekatana Review - Dredd 2012 - The Dredd Version of Die Hard

Dredd is a 2012 science fiction action film directed by Pete Travis and written and produced by Alex Garland. It is based on the 2000 AD comic strip Judge Dredd and its eponymous character created by John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra. Not to be confused with the Judge Dredd film that came out in 1995.

Before I delve into the review I like to point out I do have basic knowledge of the comic strip Judge Dredd having read a few issues way back. I also have seen the 1995 Judge Dredd film as well. I'm not a huge Dredd fan but I do have some basic idea of the source material in some way. So it may or may not affect how I will review this film. Also minor spoilers flag is up.
