I'd tell you to forget Sylvester Stallone's overblown Judge Dredd movie, but you probably already have.

This reboot, scripted by Alex (The Beach) Garland, puts British comics' much-loved anti-hero – a fascistic 22nd-century lawman – into a tough, stripped-down action movie with just the right amount of deadpan comedy. One criticism: Karl Urban doesn't have the chin for the role. Where were Michael Shannon and Josh Brolin?
