The production values are really strong, and there is a nice sense of tension when needed. ![]() it takes a while to get used to Dredd's performance, which is more Clint Eastwood than the deep growling voice we are used to, but it allows for more subtlety and humanity in his portrayal which works well. ![]() This is a solid adaptation of one of Judge Dress's most powerful and relevant story arcs.
