Line 4:
'''Dredd''' is a 2012 live-action movie based on the [[Judge Dredd (comics)|Judge Dredd]] comic, starring [[Karl Urban]] as Dredd. Judge Dredd and rookie Judge Anderson go to the rarely-policed Peachtree block to investigate a triple homicide, and matters escalate from there.
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). Karl Urban
{{tropelist}}
Line 32:
* [[Industrial Ghetto]]: Places like Peachtree are essentially this, being run-down vertical neighborhoods effectively run by various gangs. Peachtree in particular is one of the worst ones, so much so that few Judges dare venture there.
* [[Informed Attribute]]: Downplayed. Mutants are mentioned as usually having glaring physical deformities. Psychics like Anderson, however, can pass for regular humans much more easily, in part by lacking said deformities.
* [[It Gets Easier]]: Anderson initially shows reluctance in even firing her weapon. By the end, she's mowing down baddies about as well as Dredd.
* [[Mind Rape]]: Kay tries to inflict this on Anderson when she scans him, reasoning that she's in his head. They're actually in her head, and from what we see, the experience is ''brutal''.
* [[Modern Stasis]]: Compared to the other Judge Dredd film and arguably the comics, most fashions and firearms wouldn't look out of place in the present. Mega-City One is also shown as looking more contemporary-looking than futuristic.
