'''Dredd''' is a 2012 live-action movie based on the [[Judge Dredd (comics)|Judge Dredd]] comic
Very different from [[Judge Dredd (film)|the other Judge Dredd movie]], which is believed to have harmed the film's profitability despite positive fan reception (notably Dredd keeps his helmet on).

* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: As with the original, Dredd makes use of a "hot-shot" round to roast a criminal without harming the hostage he'd taken, and a flare round to take out a whole floor full of criminals at once.
* [[Action Prologue]]/[[Establishing Character Moment]]: The movie opens with Judge Dredd putting on his [[Cool Helmet]] and chasing, stopping and eventually killing a trio of criminals. Aside from their use of the Slo-Mo drug, they're not connected at all to the remainder of the story -- it's just our introduction to Mega-City One and its finest Judge.

* [[Shout-Out]]: A piece of graffiti (seen when Dredd is being shot at with miniguns) says "
* [[Slice of Life]]: In a twisted sense, this is another day in the office for Judge Dredd.
* [[Taking You with Me]]: Ma-Ma is eventually cornered by Dredd, but not before pulling her final trump card: a bomb set to blow up Peachtrees if she were to die. {{spoiler|Dredd finds a way around that.}}
